I really hate when people just walk up and start touching my firearms. Only happened maybe twice, but it happened nonetheless. At least have the common courtesy to ask, and I will have no problem letting you handle them. But for some reason, guys have walked up and just started touching for no reason, in which case I had to put in my asshole hat and get pissed.
I've never had this happen and I would NEVER think to handle someone else's firearms without asking first, especially someone I don't know. I'd ask WTF they were thinking, but that's the point. I certainly would be pretty of someone had just come up and started handling guns.

Dude walking around with his rifle on his shoulder, from his car to the bench. Never set targets, just shooting the shit!!! After the seize fire and go behinds the yellow line command was given, he put the rifle back on his shoulder and waited behind the yellow line!!!  I think he wasn't from around here because he couldn't speak English and had a hard time understanding the range officers.he got chewed out so bad that I had to buy him something to drink.

yeah, and some come up to your shooting area/bench while you're ready or about  to squeeze the trigger, and they start talking to you, asking questions, etc...Man, can't you see I am trying to shoot here!..that's when I switch shooting my rifle to the one with the compensator...lol

Does this happen alot? So what's the range code again? Is it" if you touch my shit without asking, ill drop your ass!!!"- you guys don't use this code anymore? It's part of the Bro code.... On under the index of common courtesy among men!!!

I've never experienced either. I've let guys shoot my guns no problem, but it was after starting a friendly conversation. A guy let me try his bolt gun, which I'd never shot before and he tried my AR, which he had never shot before. After that, I bought a bolt gun and he said he was going to buy an AR. Good stuff!

Nobody has ever walked up and touched my firearms.

I guess I don't look like a "it's ok to touch my stuff, kind of guy"
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Nope.. It is basically just a hunting area that has been improvised into a range. Nobody there to supervise.. etc.. And yes I think I am the only one who picks up their own trash. Although everytime I have gone the other folks who showed up and shot near me were always courteous and safety conscious. But it is uncomfortable to have random people shooting around me. There is more than one place where people shoot, all in the same vicinity and I also worry about rounds from the other areas coming towards me  :o No real barriers setup.

Been there a few times.  Always take home more trash than I bring just because others don't clean up after themselves.  I only shoot there if there is no one else shooting because as Haoleb mentioned it can get kind of sketchy if others are not safety minded.  There were a few times I did not shoot there because there were too many people and there were bud lights and hibachis so I figured better to come back some other time.   :shaka:

Left my house early and went this morning, showed up about 6:30. Started out zeroing my AR over on the right side where all the concrete barriers are lined up at 100 then 200 yards, first time shooting at that side but I wanted to have the range to myself if someone else showed up. Then moved over to the other range that those guys in the video were shooting at for some shotgun fun and left just after 10:00  Not a single soul showed up the whole time. I wish it was always like that!

Yep, nothing better than making the turn and seeing zero cars.  Last time I went late on a Weds afternon and no one.  Time before that was about 2:30 on a drizzly Saturday afternoon.  No one.  Hit or miss but great when you have it all to yourself!
It is what it is.
