Sigh.
Quote:
When it comes to safety practices there are no gray areas
Pointing a firearm at someone,
crossing the firing line to check targets will shots are being fired,
Cambering a round when pointed in someone's direction on a range that is clear
This is black and white
You only get one chance and lives are changed forever

When did I ever say those were acceptable. My statement was just pointing out how to each of us 'safe' handling of a firearm is different. I didn't think i'd need to give an example but I guess I do. Such as I was deemed unsafe at a USPSA match repeatedly simply by the habit of holstering my weapon after use. Not dropping the mag chamber check action open, etc. Was I unsafe? Hardly. But in that situation I was.
The person in question probably had a similar habit. Perhaps thats how guns were treated as he grew up or his father taught him. Maybe he's self taught and he doesnt even realize his errors?
While I don't doubt that Aguila Blanca would do the things he posted.
and I'd honestly love to see it.
I'd still stand by that the average person should just leave. My range is indeed unsupervised. We have PILES of idiots that come and do the stupidest things. Since it is unsupervised and its clearly your word vs theirs if it comes to that plus you would be the one initiating the 'conflict' (use that term loosely) Lastly you have no idea what this stranger is capable of.
Leave be safe and come back another day, or find a supervised range.
