The range I usually go to had a year long renovation and re-opened last year. The berm design was flawed and had to be re-built. They closed June 1 and expect to open by September 1. The pistol berm was worse than the rifle berm. In less than a year half of the berm was shot away.
There are too many first time gun owners at the indoor ranges here in the ATL. The last three times I have been to an indoor range I have been swept or deputy dumbass shot himself in the leg. It was a rookie cop that bumped the trigger as he was holstering his gun.
Back in Vietnam, my Squad (Military Police) was starting its duty cycle, we had the usual firearms inspection, there was one wiseass guy, let in the MPs but the lowering of the IQ Requirement..., so as it went, I took his firearm, gave the usual look over, gave it back to him. In HIS infinite wisdom, he slipped the Mag in, closed the rack, and slide it in his holster... AND pulled the trigger, WTF !
At first I didn't even realize what had happened, then he yells I shot myself and fell tot eh ground.Quicker to take him directly to the local Med Shack, he came out of it and it wasn't as bad as it could have been. He came back to duty and proceeded to get in a mess with a couple of other MPs and Thank GOD, the Captain assigned him to permanent post in the back of the LZ.
When you are that arrogant you shouldn't be allowed a gun, you can hurt more than just himself !
The local Indoor Ranges aren't too bad, best to call a head, but most of the time you can get in after a short wait. The Outdoor Ranges are just too hot this time of year for me, don't need the excess heat !
