You can't please idiots. They probably thought the stands magically grew on trees.
I went out there a month ago and evidently I was given a look of disgust by two NRA-decked out members rolling up to the rifle range. I was shooting at about a second split between shots with my muzzle braked M1A, and I guess they didn't like this. Then they gave me attitude and were like, "Can we go cold now?". Just makes me want to get my Beta C-Mag fed 7" AR with a muzzle brake put together that much more.

I absolutely cannot stand the NRA hat-wearing, bolt action rifle and shotgun only shooting, "hunting" crowd that despises anything to do with handguns or semi auto rifles that look "military" in any aspect. Mind you, I don't mind the NRA hat-wearing, bolt action rifle and shotgun only shooting, hunters that don't have a problem with it.
 It just makes me laugh at the idiocy of those charlatans that call themselves hunters or gun owners/enthusiasts that adopt the same emotional and ignorant position of the anti's based entirely off the cosmetic appearance of a firearm.

They're all projectile spitters and I like 'em. Fun Fun Fun!

Was spotting for my daughter while she was practicing some offhand rifle at a range we normally avoid. Some goof walks up behind her and stands between her and the guy on the lane next to her and raises some bigass revolver up taking aim at we're not sure which target. Problem is he's holding the pistol less than 3 feet behind her head while standing between shooters on two adjacent lanes. (It was pointed downrange and not at her.)
I look at him, over her shoulder, and yell, "Stop! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Daughter thought I was yelling at her and she had her mag dropped, rifle cleared and safed and on the bench with an empty chamber indicator inserted in about two seconds flat. It was really beautiful to watch how quickly she went from ready to fire to hands off a cleared weapon. The goof looks at me and in his very best Forrest Gump imitation slowly says, "Well I wuz just shootin at mah target." I told him that indeed he wasn't shooting at anything. The RO was nearby and threw the guy off the range.

I like the idea of drawing from the holster because pulling the trigger is not the only thing that you need to be practicing... if you can't find it or get it out of where you have it hidden... might as well not have it in the first place. Removing it from the holster safely is just as important as shooting it.
I had a fellow firefighter shoot himself in the leg while pulling his pistol out of his pants because he had his finger on the trigger while removing it.

There are so many people that piss me off in general that narrowing it down to range idiocy will take a little bit of thought. But, I was shooting indoors the other day and there were too assclowns that came in and set up next to me. One of them was Scottish, English, some kind of overseas guy(you know how popular handguns are over there) and he has this other dipsh*t with him who apparently didnt have much more expertise than his buddy from across the pond. Well, they were shooting the standard human targets(I dont know the technical name for them) and after ever mag, they would high five each other and discuss the parts of the anatomy that each bullet hit. "Wow, I got him in the kidneys" "Wow, you shot him in the nuts, he wont be going anywhere" etc..... I wanted to light them both up with a flamethrower!

A "Standard human target" would imply a person AKA a bad guy. LOL! I think the "proper" name is a "standard silhouette" target. But don't hold me to that I'm not sure either.

How about the old man that hold his pistol PARALLEL to the range and try to get a live jamed round out of the chamber. I almost dropped one old man when i took my little sister out to the range to teach her the proper way to handle and fire a firearm
