When I first got there, there was a cease-fire called so I went out and put up my target. When I was walking back and about 15 feet from the line, a guy was on the line and I watched him load a magazine and close the slide! He was pointing it at the ground otherwise I'd have been diving left and shouting at him. He and his buddy were talked to by the RO for other behaviors. He looked like the type that didn't want to hear any criticism so that's why I didn't say anything. I watched them very closely at other cease-fires, but as for shooting they were on the other end.
The second was the guy there with his girlfriend (good golly, she was... distracting, but that's for another forum). He covered my station twice with the muzzle of his XD. The second time was with a magazine inserted, action open. I asked him to keep it pointed downrange, he gave me an attitude about it, but he didn't do it again.
By far the scariest was the guy two stations down who was firing a revolver single-action. It was either a .357 or a .44. At one point he fired, immediately cocked again, and then, to demonstrate his opinion that the previous cartridge was especially powerful, proceeded to wave the pistol around with his finger on the trigger, sort of in the manner that one may shake an empty hand after hitting one's thumb with a hammer. The RO had a chat with him but unbelievably did not throw him out. He and his party left shortly thereafter anyway.
