In fact... since you displayed the attitude: Upon discussing the issue with the range owner, he informed me the same group turned in a handgun they were considering buying with the magazine in, containing rounds, and a round in the chamber.
There may be a few bad apples and even untruthful people at that. In fact, I can spot them here on FR.
A true statement and one not a chance.
Seriously, I go by my own experience. Anyone can make up a story, just as the criminals mother. The fact that you are quoting this woman and making crazy stories about irresponsible gun etiquette at a gun range tells me all I need to know. I honestly do not believe a word you’ve said.
