Thank you all for some great info!
The range's policy is no guns past the firing line, and to tell the truth, while this scenario has crossed my mind while checking targets, I haven't been too worried about it. I live in a pretty small community and most of the regular users of the range know each other fairly well. It's the kind of place that the old timers can look down the range road when they hear a truck coming and tell who it is by the shape of the dust cloud over the first berm
Also, I gave a local attorney this scenario this morning, and after a bit of discussion he concluded that I'd be within my rights (at least in New Mexico) to take a shot at the SUV. Of course, both the AR and the 1911A1 would've been confiscated for a time (perhaps as long as 6 months he speculated) but he didn't think a grand jury would bring it to trial.
