The local indoor range is the new catch all for all the "high speed, low drag snake-eaters" of dubious fact. The guy working there always fills me in on the joker of the week.
One of these guys always comes in with a ballistic vest on (only a tank top on under it regardless of the weather) and a duffle bag thrown across his shoulder...or at least he did until he was banned.
The guy watching the counter is a retired LEO and armorer (whom I heard about this guy from). Firearms are permitted uncased as long as they are holstered on your person. They do check ammo as they don't want steel core stuff tearing up the back stop. However, this "operator" proceeds to show the guy working the counter his edc piece. It's a Glock 19 carried in a cheap nylon holster with trigger guard cut off...and the dingus removed
He claimed that you don't need that safety if you use the one between your ears and removing the guard is fine. it helps him get rounds down range faster.
He was promptly told to leave and never come back. I'm sure hes had an ND by now.
Then there was the local youth that was so gung-ho to join the Marines. Not particularly the sharpest knife in the drawer, and very prone to spreading yarns told by soldiers like the guy committing suicide in the port-a-potty with an M249 by jamming the trigger somehow and letting the belt empty under his chin leaving a mess of mammoth proportions.
He washed out but was hoping to get into contract work. I also think he earnestly thought that the Blue Helmets were going to come for our guns the moment Hillary took office
Not really a gun-brag, but I felt bad that he really wasn't cut out for what he so wanted to be.
Now my nephew, I love his honesty. He joined the Core after high school. Bright young man who is officer material, imho. After basic and some other training I got to see him while he was on leave and asked him how he liked it so far.
He said that he really loved what he was doing but was glad to be done with basic. He would be proud to do any function he asked to do and fight on any front. But right now his job is go around the country with a literal bag of money and hand out some sort of petty cash/bonuses or some such and get his college paid for. Hes OK with that, too.
