My son, his friend and myself went to Tampa to get some firing time in. As I walk thru the two seperate doors for sound proofing I stopped in horror and ordered my son and TJ back out and called for a employee to get on the range and kick this moron out. Puzzled he went in and we followed and nothing wrong here sir, wait I tell him and watch this guy right here on number 6. Sure enough he drops his clip and releases the slide from last shot fired and does it again, the slide would not go all the way forward so he kneels down to the concrete floor and hammers the butt of the slide about 4 times to get it to slide all the way forward!!! The barrel is pointing at his face, I'm waiting for it to go off. The employee goes to the window and gets the attention of the range master which that side is rifles only, he comes over and as the employee is telling him what is going on, yeap, clip #3 goes in and down he goes, by the second hit the RM is on him reaming him like a D.I. in boot, takes his weapon, unloads it has him pack up to leave, banned for life, he was arguing he has a membership and will not be treated like this, RM tells him wrong, you HAD a membership. I can not believe how some people can do something so dumb, and never realize how close to death they were. I taught both my sons at age 5 about weapons, they never touched them unless we were going hunting, fishing, to the range or was needed for safety ( prowler, rattlesnake, coyote, etc..) and they knew which weapon to get for the situation, clearly this idiot needs lots of training before touching a weapon. IDK if he had bad reloads, or had a new pistol like my taurus, had a bur on the feed ramp, could barely feel it, but would jam the slide the same way, I sent it back for free and repaired for free, never thought of banging on it like a hammer and nail.....smh
