I know we have had these threads before. As far as if you see something unsafe at the range would you stop it. I've always thought that personally, Heck ya I would. Enter Chuck (me) today on my lunch hour at the range.
I grabbed my new Glock 19 and headed to my local range (County owned and unsupervised) to practice up with a white box of Winchesters. As I pulled up I heard and saw a guy banging away with a Mosin Nagant in one of the lanes. As I got out of my car I noticed his "buddy" down range standing three feet to the left of his target who was spotting for him and marking his target.
I immediately got back into my car and left. Now I'm starting to feel like I dropped the the ball as far as being a responsible gun owner goes. I really feel like I should have said something to these (very early 20's) guys. I was by myself and the whole scene was so crazy that I just bounced out of there. The former Army Infantry Staff Sergeant in me was going bananas. Anyway, I'm looking for thoughts on how I should have reacted to this. I think I really screwed up here by not saying something.
