    This doesn't concern an "official" gun range, but for decades people around here have gone to a little desert area near the dump to shoot. Lately the county has put up signs saying you can go to jail or pay a huge fine for leaving any trash--including fired brass--in the area. In addition, if you go shooting there, a codes enforcement officer may barrel up to you in his pickup and try to "catch you in the act."

    Now, I'm not advocating trashing the desert or bringing harm to a law enforcement officer, but I don't think it's wise for the guy to come zooming up to shooters at full speed in a pickup truck while they are shooting.

    With exception of introducing new shooter or neophyte, I only shoot/hunt with vetted, proven "gun guys/gals".
    I'm too old to put up with dumbshit and prefer not to go by "retard, but friendly, fire".

    I saw some weirdo shooting an AK pistol at 7yds, looked like he was dancing, bouncing side to side...rounds hitting the ground, maybe the target, and who knows what else. This was at a free, no-RSO, outdoor range. I left thinking he might shoot me by accident.

    I saw someone blow a BFA off with a live round recently, too.
    It is from the construction of underground FEMA camps. I can't say more because there a guy parked in front of house in an AMC Pacer. He is acting like he talking on the phone, but I know better.

    I have to sign off now & put my laptop in the microwave.

    Im nearly convinced there is a deep state op installing hidden looser magnets at all gun stores and ranges

    They seem to work extra efficiently at indoor ranges.

    Haven't been in or on a formal gun range since 1999. Glad I don't need one after seeing that kind of buffoonery. Out here we just use a natural berm and shoot whatever target we haul out to set up.

    I like the bullet holes in the glass partitions at the NRA HQ range.

    You have seen NOTHING until you've been on a public access range in Florida. Grown adults doing crap 12 year olds know is wrong.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I am puckered any time I have to go to a local range to rent a new handgun, or shoot something I am interested in buying.

    I believe what happened was that there was so much unburned powder residue that built up on the floor and in the floor grates that the muzzle flash from that shotgun ignited the powder that was on the floor in front of him.

    I was at an indoor range with my younger brother a few years ago on the lane second from the left wall. There was about a 2 foot by 5 foot pile of brass in front of the far left lane. Similar to the first video (not nearly as energetic) the pile caught fire. While not an RSO, I called a cease fire and ushered everyone put of the firing lanes and got a fire extinguisher and put out the flames. Needless to say we dont go back there if they can’t take care of their shit.
