The gun range I frequent the most often does not allow rapid fire.
That's fine with me.

Agreed, I am in my mid/late 20s, but I still get carded for smokes some times. I have had more then one peson walk up to me at the range and start into me about "rapid fire", "being safe", "try aiming" etc.... They usually stop mid sentance when they see all my rounds are in atleast the 8 or usually the 9 ring. They all just thought I was some stupid kid who saw too many movies.... Just because they say watch out for the scruffy guy in his 50's with a pistol as old as him dosen't mean the "kid" in the lane next to him won't outshoot you too.
Try looking at his target first before you talk about his shooting style.

I guess I won't tell about the time with a 'Rinco SKS, four 30rd mags and a barrel that was glowing after the end of the forth mag.
But that target, target stand and all the side of the berm were good n dead

You are being stereotypical in your stereotyping.

Why are you only allowed 6 rounds is it a range rule?

You singled out their shooting style, their ages, and their race. Is there really a problem there somewhere?
Sounds as though you need your own personal range so you can enforce your own rules. Public ranges means getting along with people as long as no rules are broken.
Someone may have been offended to you "happily blasting away with your DE". Did that thought ever cross your mind while you determined what should be appropiate for others?

Would you prefer "I don't know any Jews but let me tell you every thing about them"
Personally most of my friends and family are non-white so I guess you wouldn't like any comment I make about anything race related.
If nobody made an assumption based on race then nobody would make these comments that seem to offend you.
Stating an opinion and defending that opinion by relating personal knowledge or experiences that lead you to that opinion is a perfectly valid debate technique

Why are you only allowed 6 rounds is it a range rule?
Range rule, yes. On the handgun range 6 rounds allowed unless it is a match shoot. I never asked why that rule I guess so the revolver shooters don't feel out gunned
On the rifle range they prefer us to shoot 'single shot' but with an auto that is kind of a pain so its "Please no rapid fire"
I don't mind as I shoot Contenders mainly

I usually only unload my .22 rifle as fast as I can (less expensive than other calibers), sometimes from the hip (not at the range though). My point: IT'S FUN!

As for the "I hate to be stereotypical..." - then don't.

Ok, lets forget the statement that they were black and all under the age of 21. I am 26 and very anal about accuracy, always have been. BUT.......... theres days when unloading whole magazines downrange in a safe manner, and still hitting your target just thrills the heck out of me & probably 99.9% of the other members on this site as well. Just lastnight me and 2 other friends, 26, 30 & 35 lined up concrete cinder blocks and all pulled out our .44's and pulled the triggers very fast and left nothing more than a cloud of dust and a few shattered concrete remains, why? Because it was FUN! Oh, and were all white by the way!
