I have. I've shot in benchrest matches where the wind blew so hard, it would trip competitors' triggers while the guns were just sitting in their rests. Gotta love Ben Avery.

Reaction to the situation described in the OP:
Internet: Scream in the person's face, puff up your chest, blade your body, and tell the guy to put the weapon down and "Come git sum!" Real Life: Run and tattle to the range officer. Leave quickly to avoid a parking lot encounter. |

Some of the ranges I go to, the RSO's use flashlights to get a good look inside the chamber.

Most of you folks appear to have very little experience at the firing line. The OP did the right thing. Any of you that think guns never fire themselves need to buy a gunsmith lunch and ask him to tell you some of his horror stories.

This post is strictly done in an attempt to get this thread to 10 pages.

The OP was in the right, but could have gotten his point across with tact and grace, without involving the RSO. The offender might well have learned more from that approach, and made a change in attitude and behavior. Instead, here we are.....

It became an issue when the patron failed to acknowledge the OP's point on the direction of the pistol. The direction alone wasn't the issue from what I understand. It's the attitude from the patron on how he dealt with it. If the patron would have acknowledged the mistake and made it a point to correct it asap, I bet this thread wouldn't exist.

Well, I think the OP and most of you commenters should consider the ramifications of......oh hell, I'm just BS'ing in an attempt to get this thread to 10 pages.

When a cease fire is called you're suppose to stop shooting, safety on (if applicable), remove the magazine (if applicable), lock the slide or bolt to the rear, set the firearm down, and step back away from the benches. You're suppose to do all of that with the gun pointed down range (for what should be obvious reasons.) The fact that at the end of all that the gun is sitting on the bench pointing down range is a side-effect of the fact that you performed the entire clearing process with the gun pointed in a safe direction. If it's sitting on the bench pointed at the stall next to you it's a symptom of not having done that. /just a little ways to go to get to 10 pages... |

Popping the collars on my pastel Izod polos and draping an argyle sweater over my shoulders offers additional neck protection from hot brass.
Sockless Sperry Topsiders are not a very good choice for tactical range footwear. The leather ones are preferable to the canvas versions though. |

just so I understand this correctly-
You were standing away from the bench during a cease fire the RO had checked the guns as safe the RO went downrange- in front of YOUR MUZZLE the fellow next to you had his muzzle pointing to your lane You throw a fit because you somehow think this is unsafe. Interesting. So how unsafe was the RO downrange checking that target? Ever been on a range where you had to walk downrange to change targets in front of everyones muzzle? Grow a set, please.

The RSO could not have checked that it was safe, because the pistol was lying with the ejection port facing down onto the rest. After the RSO returned, it is inferred that he spoke to the owner about it, since the owner then moved the pistol to face downrange in order to be in compliance (although after the fact.) Telling someone to "grow a pair" when the most basic range safety rules are violated leads to carelessness. Matter of fact, if I were a a range where simple rules are violated because you know, "grow a pair," I'd never go back.

You do know that a semi-auto pistol is proven to FTF when the slide is locked back 100% of the time, right? ejection port up, down, or sidewayz...

Your opinion and theories have nothing to do with following well established, easy to understand (for most, apparently not all) safety rules that a well organized range enforces. The firearm was not checked for clear. The potential hazards during and after the cease fire were clearly explained already for even the most simple minded to grasp.

It is not n opinion that gun with the slide locked back CANNOT fire. It is 100% Fail to Fire situation. YOU, being unable to comprehend simple facts, are stuck on the fact the ejection port was facing down. With the MAG OUT and the SLIDE LOCKED back the gun was an inert tool and could not discharge unless a mag was inserted and the slide run forward. Those are facts stated in the OP, not guesses based on some weird bend you need to fit your narrative.
