too agressive
I shoot at an indoor range that is well run. The range officers are very knowledgable and curtious but also know how to handle the occasional unsafe or agressive shooter.
A while back, I was shooting my scoped cx4 and there were two guys and a young woman in the next lane over. After shooting for some time, I cleared my carbine, left it on the bench, and stepped back from the line for a moment of rest.
During that moment, one of the young men and the woman in the next lane asked me some questions about the rifle. During our conversation, the girl said that it was her first time shooting and my response was to say, 'welcome
to the sport'. All of a sudden, the young man at the line put his pistol down and started walking towards me in an agressive manner...his body language was unmistakable. I'm thinking, 'damn...here we go'.
It seemed like the RO came out of nowhere and put himself between me and the young man. The three people were asked to leave the range and did so with the agressor questioning my parentage. The RO later explained that he had seen this man before and that he was on the 'watch closely' list.
This is the only time I have encountered anything like this situation and I wrote a letter to the owner of the range thanking him for the expertise of his staff. I still shoot there and feel safe doing it.
