There is always that possibility, so I just smile and nod and let it go. But don't bug me when I am actually shooting, please. You can bend my ear during cease-fires or other breaks.I had a guy like that at the range a few weeks ago. I'm glad I treated him with respect and patience. I found out later from the range officer that he had recently lost his wife and was lonely, looking for friendship.
It means "I agree". No need to get catty.
Shooting a highly accessorized M4 prone from 20 yards.
Could be that he's just an overbearing know-it-all. Could be that he has no one else to talk to. Could be that whoever it was that he did talk to about shooting died. Could be a little of each. People like that are looking for something. One never knows.......
Often times I let them talk. Some people are just lonely. I have run into a few at the range who just want to talk to somebody. Now, I have run into people who are just a pain, but they would be a pain about any subject. I just take a page from Skinner and ignore poor behavior. It is easier that way. By the way, I too wear gun tee shirts mostly when I am working in Chicago.
It's the ones that don't say anything that usually scare me the most. You know, walk on range, dump 200 rounds as fast as possible, as unsafely as possible, then take off.
The talkers are usually the nice ones.

My local range "ninja" is a hoot I tell ya. He's known as Happy Rounds because he says thats what he shoots "happy rounds"
He'll clear the range and take of running/jogging and dive onto his stomach(like a basball player going into home on a bang bang play) scan right, scan left and fire. He'll roll from behind one 50 gallon drum to behind another. All the while wearing blackhawk tactial pants, a tactical vest and a got sig? hat.
Nuttin' new, just an everyday Know-it-All. They're all over the place. Sounds like he didn't offer you a hit off his pipe tho. Only thing worse than a Know-it-All is a bogarting Know-it-All.
Wow! That must have been a long day ago.
A range Ninja would be the guy I saw yesterday. Shooting a highly accessorized M4 prone from 20 yards.

the funny thing is that they keep talking about all these cool guns they have that are better than yours... but for some reason they never seem to have them available to actually show you..... whats up with that?
