He came up to me after we went hot and was embarrassed and apologized profusely. I'm glad he got the possible gravity of his error.
As my wife often reminds me, how you say something aka tone and attitude is equally as important as what you're saying. I don't know you but I'd bet you probably talked to the guy with respect making him aware and didn't do the freakout out over the top scolding thing which often causes people to react defensively because they're embarrassed they got called out.
Often, under these kinds of circumstances, how someone responds to you or the situation is a direct reflection of how you talked to or treated them so I'd say good on you for making it a positive experience. :tup:

"great, one more nanny state rule to follow!"
Having been around them for some time now, I really really like them and think they are a great addition to a range, private or private.
I guess some old dogs do learn new tricks.

I did talk to him calmly and quietly. I don't get excited with people until I'm correcting them the third time for the same thing, usually muzzle control.

I have certainly seen my share of stupid crap at the range. And out in the field, but that is a whole ‘nother bunch of crap.

They are a good visual identifier.

Most people dont know what chamber flags are. Unless they shoot at matches or ranges that require them. I have never seen then used in the military since i have been in.

:yeah:
Good on you Pman for keeping the line safe, and showing patience. That in itself may keep a new shooter coming back to the range instead of going out and shooting up trees.
I see this probably about 1 out of 3 range trips and I hit the outdoor range at least once a week for pistol and rifle, weather depended. And the indoor range (does not use flaps, but has extended walls on each side) for pistol at least once a week, more if weather is crappy.
The previous owner of the outdoor range I shoot at most, was a complete a$$ hole. He drove away tons of shooters with how he treated people. They almost went out of business. Luckily he sold it and the new owners have some fantastic Range Officers.
