Is it appropriate for a RSO to go through your bags?

How is this any different than some guy snatching a woman's purse?

It's not. I would have probably ended up in jail in this situation because honestly, I would have bounced the RSO's head off of the table for even being in my bag.

No one, and I mean NO ONE searches my stuff without permission. I don't fly specifically because I don't need the TSA mafia taking my contact lens solution and toothpaste for their own private use, and the government can't do it... what makes you think some private citizen who just happens to be goody goody with the range owners can?!

You CAN'T. STAY AWAY FROM MY RANGE BAG.

[Yeah. I got heated. Whatever. Stay out of my range bag.]
 
Filing a civil suit? Getting a deputy involved? Calling a lawyer? Come on, guys -- can't we solve our own problems?

"Excuse me, sir, but I'd appreciate it if you'd get your hands out of my range bag ... right this minute. You have no right to be in there, and you weren't invited to be in there, so please get your hands out of there -- right now."

What's wrong with that? What's he going to say? At worst: "I can get in there if I want to get in there." At which time, you pick up your range bag with his hand still inside it, zip it up as hard as you can, and leave, never to return that range again.
 
How about stay away from my stuff in general. If you are interested in my stuff, by all means chat me up, I love talking to people, and I have started many a conversation, many based on what vehicle they have.

But to open up my car/backpack/duffelbag in a parking lot/restauraunt/whatever is not cool. If it a condition of using the property, fine. Tell me, and I will make the determination whether or not I want to use the property. For example, the track my dad and I used to go to on Sat nights had a big sign about things that weren't allowed, and they performed a cursory check of any big bags, or coolers. I never had a problem, because it was a "can I see the bag?", which meant I unzipped, held it open, they looked in, and then I went on my way.

They ask before looking in, though. If I refuse, the property owner (or their representative) can deny my use of their property.

::EDIT:: But really? Suing because someone put their grubby paws in a bag? Isn't this a place where the collective we complain about being an overly lawsuit-happy society?

No, we can't. Thanks to the progressives among us (more here that I was aware of), if the offended takes virtually any action other than calling the authorities, the offender becomes the victim and wrecks the life of another good guy.

My father's generation would have smacked the punk and if he chose to contact the authorities, he would have gotten a lecture about respecting other people's property. We're faaaar beyond that.
 
TSA Mafia?? What have they done that is so bad? Try and keep us safe?

How does stealing from passengers "keep us safe"?

As a matter of fact, I think there was somebody who used to post here who caught one of them stuffing his travelers checks up his sleeve.
 
Great job lilguy.
Two posts, about 100 enemies. :rolleyes:
You have a lot of career choices ahead of you...
Thread-killer is the least of them.
In an attempt to remain THR, I won't get into the others... :)
