A question about someone at a shooting range?

2018-03-26 2:07 am
This is more of a personal opinion question. I went out the the range the other day, and this is still bothering me a little bit. I took my firearms out, about 5 in total, and in those I have an M1 Garand. I'm a younger shooter there with only being 22, everyone else there that day was at least 40+. One was in a war, and he spotted my M1, and walked over to it while I was reloading another rifle, and picked up and started handling it without asking me. I got an attitude and kinda yelled at him because he didn't ask me first. Was I in the right? He got offended and started going on about he fought for the right for me to have this right now and how I should thank him and all that, but I seen it as unsafe and irresponsible, especially for someone that was in the military.

I would tell him in my best R. Lee Ermey voice, "This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is not yours."

You were right, he was wrong. Be careful in the locker room. He might want to hold your dick when you piss.

You should never just go up and start touching and handling a man's gun. They need to a man's gun with more respect than you would his woman.

You report him to the person in charge of the gun range. AND tell him to put it down immediately.

Common courtesy and common sense say, you don't touch something that belongs to someone else without first asking permission. ( should have asked him where he served and what he did....could have been a cook @ Ft Hood or something )

You do not handle anyone else's gun without asking first. The owner should then take the gun, make sure it is unloaded and then hand it to the person asking. That person should then confirm it is not loaded, then he looks at it. However, in the future, Bring a towel or two and keep the guns covered.

Proper etiquette at a firing range is to keep your hands to yourself. One should NEVER touch another person's weapon without permission. Your "military veteran" was rude and full of crap, and MAY not have actually been a veteran at all. He probably had never seen an M-1 Garand.

Well,that is a bit out of line touching anothers weapon without with out first asking,I don' recall ever seeing that and can even be dangerous.
Now the M1 is a historical piece rarely sprouted by such young individual, I can understand the interest.
I had an M1 back in the early 70s,and not seen one since other than in collector display cases.
You could lighten up a bit, just simply ask that your guns not be handled. Most will respect that.
Bad attitudes and guns are not a good combination.

you were right but you could probably just tell him nicely
