It’s not her, it is the Range Officer who didn’t explain Weapons Rule 1 before allowing her to touch a firearm.
She is probably a standard-issue city chick and has never touched a gun in her life. If it wasn’t for Boy Scouts I wouldn’t know the rules either (well, through FR I would have learned).
I would not have the bozo in blue on my range!
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to useNRA Gun Safety Rules :
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
The range officer where I shoot is ex USMC. He would have sounded off at her like Gunny Hartman. I have seen him sound off at people who show no respect for range rules. Such people at not welcome back. He’s by the book, and I prefer it that way!
Why do you think he did not explain the rule about not pointing a gun at anything you do not want to shoot? I got the impression that he did explain it, and was reminding her about it.
