I was yelled at one time at the only indoor range here in town. It had NOTHING to do with gun handling/safety. My friends call me the Range Nazi because I'm a complete prig when it comes to the rules of gun safety. This is a range where all of the employees know me, or at least recognize me.
A friend of a friend was visiting from halfway across the country and had expressed interest in going shooting with me. This is amazing because my friend is a flaming liberal, and he went with us and had a good time. Anyway, he wanted to get some pictures of himself shooting since it was his first time. There was nobody within 3 lanes of us on either side and the flash was off on the camera. After we had taken a few pics, my buddy accidentally turned the flash on, which drew the attention of the RO. He got on the intercomm and yelled at us not to do that again. When we left the range, the guy (who knows me) slapped my hand and said "You should know better." My response to that was, "There is NOTHING about pictures written ANYWHERE in this building. How was I supposed to know?" He then proceeded to tell me it was the owner's policy and he didn't understand why, but those were the rules. I apologized and reminded him again that the long list of rules which I read very carefully before the pics began said nothing about it. This is just one of many reasons I don't go to that range unless I absolutely have to. Nobody yells at me for taking pics at the outdoor range.
Anybody else ever gotten yelled at by the RO while shooting?
