Took me a bit, but I’m so glad I went through all 56 pages of this thread. it is amazing what people will do, especially with a gun in their hand.
was at PB today when a gentleman brought a handgun behind the firing line to the tables. RSO immediately came over to explain the rules and told him to take it back to the lane. Dude acknowledged what the RSO said, but continued to load a another mag with the gun on the table (pointing sideways, muzzling the entrance). RSO continued to try and get the guy to take the gun back, but apparently the gentleman saw this as a recommendation and not an order. Eventually, the dude starts to yell at the RSO that he understands what he’s saying, and eventually took the gun back to the lane.
the RSO kept his cool and explained its a safety policy and moved on. It’s mind blowing to me that people see safety as a recommendation. If the RSO asks you to take the gun back to the lane, don’t try to load a mag before doing so.
That is a perfect example at why sometimes RSOs have to become a$$es
