When a hamburger at a range causes a reasonable situation of endangering others give me a ring, friend.
sandwich said:If they are breaking the rules and no one steps in, it is only a matter of time before they pose a threat to someone else.
So who are you talking to Revolverguy or the Hamburgler?There are a lot of axxholes out there, you just had the misfortune of running into one, just forget about it, but you may run into this guy again, so just be aware that Bullies like that, usually don't let things go.
Unless someone is being dangerously careless with handling a weapon on the range, it isn't none of your business. It seems the instigator is the guy who wishes to regulate the health of another complete stranger and uses the range rules as an excuse and then gets scared about the guy being upset, and then calls the cops for help. Mind your own business, live and let live.
Could the range's no-eating rule exist to protect it from potential medical lawsuits brought by morons who will grub in the midst of lead-laden air? When this dope forgets where he lives, who's he gonna blame?
- I'll take a number 4, with cheese, and don't skimp on the heavy metal particles, please.
Guns can make people stupid.
The problem I have, I don't know about anyone else, is that the OP considered using his concealed weapons to "convince" the "hamburgler" to leave the range

I was just about to post this. This is the reason food, drinks and smoking is not allowed on the firing line at your local range or even in the room if it is an indoor. Lead settles on everything and ingesting lead is extremely dangerous. He broke a rule, if he broke one he was most likely going to break another at some point. The rules are there for a reason, and that reason is not "to be broken".
Besides it's not a question if the guy should have been eating or not. It's still against the rules.
There are some valid concerns in this thread, but lead poisioning and the aftermath are not.
The "fact" that lead poisoning takes "years" to show symptons (which I'm not sure it does)
