mikegot38 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Two weeks ago I was RO'ing a squad at a local steel match. After I cleared the shooter, I asked him a question about his gun. He was now facing up range. He snatched the gun out of his holster before he could be stopped and pointed it at my chest just as the scorekeeper (my wife) tried to stop him. I was diving for cover and immediately DQ'd him. What really ticked me off (if having a gun pointed at my chest was not enough) is that the MD suggested to one the shooters in the squad (who is also a BE member) that the shooter should be allowed to continue "since the gun was empty". I have been burning about it since the match. Thanks for letting me vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 That sounds like a range, I would never shoot at again. A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'd never go there again. Remember...when it comes to accidental shootings, no one has ever been shot by a loaded gun. It's always, "I swear it was unloaded!" Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Did the shooter (term used loosely) have any explanation for his actions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
