What specifically were your complaints?
First, I got yelled at multiple times for driving too fast through the parking lot. I was never over 5 mph (the speed limit is 3 mph). Although, I did step on it pretty good leaving the place, their attitude was unwelcome. One range officer literally screamed at me as I drove down the hill to turn around.
Secondly, I was reprimanded about holding my .405 Win (action open mind you) with the butt on the bench waiting for the guy next to me to put his weapon down so that he could take mine. Reprimanded for having the muzzle up...when directly behind me there are my other 10 guns with the muzzle up and actions open.
Third, during the final cease fire my girlfriend was moving cleared and cased long guns from the extended cab of my truck to the bed for the ride home. A range officer approached and firmly told her that she can not handle weapons during a cease fire. When she told me about it, I responded that I didn't care what they thought as we were leaving anyway. I continued moving the guns and we departed. The last thing on my mind was appeasing them because my rifle in a case was dangerous... Again,
I also saw him jack up Ernie when he borrowed a screwdriver from me. He wasn't doing anything dangerous. In fact, I'm fairly certain his qualifications with a firearm greatly exceed just about everyone else there.
Their two second rule between shots....please...we're shooting into a giant dirt hill.
Shall I continue?
...and to think I paid $26 for that privilege. I think I'll stay up here in NorCal where I can do whatever I want when I want.
