Guns carried around me remain holstered, not subject to being drawn unless the situation requires.
I did 27 years in Law Enforcement, and had more guns pointed at me at public ranges than on the job. None of them were pointed "with intent", just sloppy gun handling - including the woman, pushed to shoot it by her husband, who pointed a loaded Uzi subgun at me with her finger on the trigger!
Public ranges are dangerous places (police ranges are only slightly less dangerous), mostly because shooters go into their private 'bubble', particularly if they have a problem. They are so intent on what they are doing, they don't hear range commands, horns, buzzers, etc.
Even after a "Cease Fire", with everyone back behind the 'yellow line', I have stopped people who walked forward to case, clean, adjust, and even LOAD their guns with folks down range.

If you frequent a public range, stay alert, trust no one!
