I read about this incident and couldn't help but get flashes of my youth. No I didn't wear my pants down around my ???, but I remember when I was a little man in a big world and trying to stand as tall as I could, and youthfully stupidly exceeded reasonable attitude bounds and came off crass to people sometimes. Being young is being unsure, but you can't let it show so lets overcompensate and walk like a man. Ah, youth.
At least the kid was asking questions. A lot of kids are so insecure that they know it all and will try to tell you what it is and wont let you teach them. I would've been nice to the kid and talked for a few minutes. No offense, but it almost sounds like the kid intimidated you by playing the tough guy and you called him out for it so kicked in his youthful defense mechanism smart aleck comment on his way out. Walked out like he owned the place...I see that as a good thing.
So the kids got spirit, shouldn't beat on him for it. We need those kids for the future of America. Should'a had a little patience, planted a seed or two of wisdom to help him along. I'm always nice and helpful to the young shooters at the range. Or don't you remember being young?
