Went to range today with son. Had a guy with a strong accent come and start telling us if we could shoot 1 handed. He kept telling me that me and my son should shoot 1 handed. He was there with 2 other guys. Kept asking me if that was a 357. He then proceeded to ask me if he could shoot it with his own ammo. I decided to leave.
He then asked if he could  hold it. Not wanting to be rude I agreed. I don’t know why he kept pushing my son should try 1 handed. Seems like he wanted to prove something. If he reloads then why would he need to shoot someone else’s gun. The revolver is a common ruger. Weird.

Learned the hard way a long time ago, not to trust reloads from a stranger.  Other people can reload for you but you should know their practices and methods before you fire off one of their rounds at all, let alone in your own gun.  I mean, factory ammo is essentially ammo reloaded by a stranger, but that stranger is sort of vetted through millions of people shooting their ammo.  This dude, no one knows…. And a stranger coming up to you asking if they can shoot your gun is just awkward.  You asking if they would like to try is different than someone pushing the issue.

Yep.  i'd never ask to shoot someone's firearm unless we either knew each other or he invited me.

What if it's a she? lol

We’re currently in the middle of a national mental meltdown and your circle of trust should contract accordingly

Few years ago, a group of teens came down from the Ewa side of the range. They appeared to come from the beach and were checking the activities on the rifle and pistol ranges. Another reason to be cognizant of people and never leave your firearms unattended.

How do you know if it's a she?

Good point.  many have reported firearms stolen at the range.

Someone engaging you out of the blue could just be trying to distract you from the guy standing near your range bags ...

If leaving to go bathroom and alone can ask RSO working to keep eye on item.

I've been shooting at KHSC for about 44 years. i've never heard of firearms being stolen at the range.

I recently heard that on Sat, 05/19, an AR-15 was stolen off the shooting bench while the line
was cold and shooters were checking their targets.   There were no witnesses, not even the
RSO's, and a report was filed with HPD. 

Did anyone here hear about this incident?

I asked around to some of the guys that are here almost everyday and no one heard anything
but most agreed that they did not doubt that it happened or could happen.
