I said something kinda off hand, loud enough for him to hear, but not directly to him

He is the moderator, when he quits telling everyone that their gun needs a grip or frame mounted safety I will quit. See the glock torture thread. Or just search safety and his username and you will see how annoying it is reading someone putting down every gun posted cause he thinks it needs an extra few safeties. I am breakin no rules.

Same crap happens at the local range I go to. Some of these stupid bastards like to use slugs, or .45-70 (or equivalent) of the target frames, which are 4x6 treated lumber. Such a **** off to see these punk use and abuse. Fortunately when you get to the range you are required to write down your membership ID number, doesn't always happen though. Call me a nark, call me a spoiler, call me whatever you like, but I will report people that are doing this **** in a heartbeat.

Went to the local indoor range a few months back, one of those nose in the air, high dollar, bullseye, .22 long rifle pistol guys (everyone knows what I'm talking about if they have gone to a range) had the nerve to come over and ask us if we would mind coming back because our full size cal guns were breaking his consentration....

I don't think I've ever shot so much or so long in one session.

He was shooting something like this...

On the Off hand, I got to shoot a light .50 today, thank you special forces. I was feeling like a regular badass with that much firepower in my hands

I've shot a .50 before. Very cool. In both the prone and standing positions, semi and fully auto...
