First off, just because it's a gun range doesn't make it safe. I often have my guard up even higher because ranges are where people come to learn and practice.
With that said, I always keep a loaded firearm holstered on my at the range. On those occasions where I see someone using questionable judgement, I will try and help. I do the introduction with, "Hi, I used to be a cop. Let me show you something that will help you . . ."
For whatever reason, folks new to firearms still think that cops are the end-all experts and authority.
But with people who are just being flat stupid, I go to the rangemaster and raise hell. I've yet to shoot at a range where that kind of behavior is tolerated--but they can't fix it if they don't know what's broken, so tell them.
