Range story-BEWARE

[Kid Stanislaus]

Only thing that needs to be said is; "WHy in the **** are you touching my gun?"

Followed by, "Take you F***'n badge and shove it where the sun don't shine!!".

[Kid Stanislaus]

Why didnt you make a bigger deal about it at the time and get his badge number? I dont mean to be rude but are you over the age of 65? Hows your brain doin lately?

For a guy who didn't mean to be rude you sure as hell did one whale of a job doing exactly THAT!

Just curious as to ASR? I'm guessing Angeles shooting range?

Just for my clarification because that's the range I frequent when shooting my rifles.

I always have my Ol lady or me stand and keep and eye on our stuff while at ranges. And keep them zipped up till I'm ready to use them.

I don't like when people go snooping around my stuff.

For these reasons I would tend to believe what the OP is telling us. However, I also agree with many others here that more than likely the person who stuck the magnet on his rifle was most likely NOT an actual sheriff. I've heard of people at ASR walking off with other's guns pretending that it was an accident and other shady things. When I'm at ASR, the rifles on the back bench stay in their cases and the rifle on the line is watched.

For edification...at ASR during a ceasefire, you can handle weapons on the back bench but may not touch anything ahead of the yellow line that is behind the shooting benches. You may cross the yellow line to walk to your targets, but may not stand in front of it (unless you are in the dirt area picking up brass). I too have spent the last 20+ years up at ASR. Sad to see what things are coming to.

ASR would be a great range except for the reasons above. Place is a zoo on the weekends, only time I can get out. I've also witnessed some pretty unsafe handling on the pistol side. I bring as little to the benches as possible.
The few times I've been during the week I really enjoyed it, and had no concern for others getting too close to my gear.

Hey..... whats your problem?

You got something against older gunners?

Maybe he's a teenager and HIS brain has some shortcomings?

[He-Hate-Me]

Forgive my ignorance, I'm a pistol shooter, not a rifle shooter. What does a magnet do to your bullet button and why would he want to put one on your AR?

Instead of giving it back to him....

Should have said;
"Hmmmm, wonder where that came from?"

And tossed it downrange!
