Last weekend the RSO at koko was scolding some people how they left their guns during ceasefire. he goes back to his own bench and his revolver is clearly loaded. he still doesn't unload it. and to top it off he let's his friend cross the yellow line to show him that a piece of his gun broke and continued to talk story while holding his gun. people are down range during this time. I should have said something but I didn't want to get kicked off. Next time i think it's worth the safety of others so i will speak up. that part is my fault.

So, the RSO is on the clock and is responsible for watching over the safety of shooters, right?

The RSO is obviously working if he's scolding shooters.  Can somebody please explain how the RSO is also allowed to be shooting?  I don't care if there are only two positions used at that entire area.  If the RSO is being paid to do his job, I fail to see how he can be practicing at the same time!

Maybe it's just me, but stealing from the state/tax payers seems wrong (being paid for shooting practice).

Damn post whores...

A lot of those RSO's go shooting on their days off.

Even if they're off they still scold everyone that does anything wrong.

He might not have necessarily been on the clock.

You'd be surprised to know that about 1/3 of those guys aren't getting paid at any particular time but just go to the range to hang out with their friends and shoot.

I once saw someone on the pistol range load their magazine with the bullets in the wrong direction.

Were they shooting an HK ?
 

LOL. No. I get the reference, though. I think it was a 1911.

Thanks for clearing that up.  Wasn't trying to get down on the RSO's because they have a tough job some days.  But the way the story went, that particular RSO was letting himself be distracted.  And IF he was on the clock, it was all kinds of wrong!

 

I see a lot of shooters that look dumb, but looks can be deceiving....    just kidding

Looks might not always be deceiving though.  Very recently had a shooter to our left start bitching very loudly to a shooter on his left.  Conversation went something like;  "Hey man, your empty shells are flying this way and hitting me.  You should  be more careful and put up a cardboard.  Or some people even use a net.  What you're doing is very inconsiderate and annoying.". It was something to that effect anyway, and he seemed to be extremely distraught with having empties flying his way.  The complainer then finished up shooting his revolver, took out a pistol and started raining either .380 or 9mm cases on everyone to his right.  My wife was like, "did you hear that guy grumbling about empty cases and he doesn't care that his crap is flying everywhere?" 
The guy also walked up to the bench and messed with his stuff during two cease fire periods while shooters were down range.  RO caught him the second time as he was there awhile packing up his guns to leave.  It's getting more and more common even on this pistol side now.

I'm so tired of whiny bitches complaining about brass hitting them.

We live on a small island with 1 public range.

It's shooting you whiners.

* NEWSFLASH * brass flies at ranges.

I've been hit with literally hundreds of rounds of brass over the years. I've never once complained.

That's like some guy on the swim team crying about another swimmer splashing him while he's swimming.

if someone touch my things during a cease fire and without my permission,  they wouldn't hear the end of it! It's a gun range for crying out loud, of course brass will be everywhere,  but I know what you mean be respectful to your fellow range neighbor! I think it's in the bible....

i had to read it two or three times before i got it
he messed with his own stuff during cease fire, not other people's stuff

Agree completely, it's all part of going to the range.  My wife and I just thought it was pretty stupid the guy was bitching about the very thing he was doing. 

macsak, yup, dude was messing with his own stuff, I just re-read my post and see where it is confusing.

Then there are those that shouldn't be dumb or should know better but still do unsafe things.  One weekend a couple of months back several members of a local law enforcement agency showed up at the range.  The ringleader of their little troupe almost put a hole in his buddy.  He was standing there talking with his buddy, carrying on about work,  all the while he was pointing the pistol at his  buddy.  I could see m9's slide was in battery, but before I could say anything an off duty RSO came up and pointed this out to him.  He didn't say "sorry" or "my bad",  "oh it's ok I know it's not loaded." is what he told the RSO        from two stalls away I could see the action was closed.  I know on the early model m9's the extractor would stick out a little but and act as a loaded chamber indicator, but damn!  What ever happened to the first rule: Always assume it's loaded?
