I politely but firmly spoke to my local gun store/range owner last Saturday about the issue of his patrons muzzle sweeping me.
It's an indoor range, and as I turned to look through the glass towards the sales counter, a customer with a large caliber wheelgun was looking through its scope and pointing it "right at me".
He could've been aiming above my head, but I couldn't tell from 20 feet away, and, frankly, it didn't matter.
The owner at first kind of shrugged it off, but I persisted and reminded him that it was in his best interests that a tragedy didn't occur at his place of business with all the resulting publicity.
He agreed that he and his staff should be more cognizant of the issue and would make a better effort with it in the future.
And it wasn't an isolated incident and wasn't unique to his place of business either.
I thought rule ONE was: Never point a gun at someone unless you meant them harm or something to that effect.
