SiCo Omega flys downrange; RSOs refuse Ceasefire. Other shooters

[Charlie]

Something's not right here, there's way too much wrong with this scenario to make sense...

First, anytime there's a discrepancy on the range it should be called cold until the problem is fixed. Heck, I've seen ranges go cold because someone's target has blown over.

Secondly, shooting at non-targets has never been allowed at any range I've been to. Way too dangerous.

Not saying any of this didn't happen, it's just not right...

This ^^^^

Well, I've never had an issue with my crappy Omega mount so I'm not sure how the can could randomly shoot off the rifle unless it was already pretty loose. Seems like a lack of awareness.


That said, I'd have been much more belligerent with the range staff when told to leave my can. I'm also unaware of any range that doesn't allow anyone to call a cease fire when necessary. Probably get banned from the range in the process, but obviously wouldn't have been returning anyways.

We have called cease fire immediately for: suppressors, lasers, flashlights, magazines, front sights, firearms, springs and dentures (don't ask)........

Range was totally in the wrong.......imho...

Front sights?
Lol

Other jerk shooters start using the lonely can as target practice.

Where in his story does it say this? He says it was hit twice, probably inadvertently.

This is pretty much what I've been telling everyone. While there's a chance for malice here, it was likely accidental. They probably didn't even know it was there.

Yep. I see some minor scratches and stuff from sending it down range. That's to be expected. But the actual real damage is the 2 bullet impacts, which could have been prevented if they would have got it, or let me get it.

Amazing on so many levels.

Range is somewhere in Indiana, per story.

Asshole, if you're going to literally copy and paste contents of my thread from another website, a hat tip is the bare minimum.

Should have called the ATF and reported his silencer stolen by the owner of that range.

They had his property and wouldn't give it back. At the very least they are guilty of an illegal transfer of an NFA device if they forced the registered owner to leave it in their possession without his consent for 'gunsmithing'.

Maybe he should call the ATF anyway to tip them off for an inspection of the premises and an audit to make sure they don't have any unregistered suppressor pieces still in their possession. After all suppressor parts still count as full blown suppressors under current rules.

This. What are the laws of any Joe blow range owner/ffl taking possession of an NFA item? Though it was not a good idea to do so.

This particular range was a Class 3 dealer/SOT.

They should have known better then. ATF should throw the book at them.

Ass hats.
Complete lack of common decency.

I don't know, call the police, that they are trying to steal your class III (or whatever that is) item.

This sounds so stupid it sounds like a hoax.

After working in stores/ranges I can 100% see this actually happening.
