SO Aggravating! Range Safety Officer Idiots

[usabaker]

The gun club that I work as an RO opened last Monday, I work last Friday. It was interesting to have to wear a mask for 9 hours. Mostly regulars came out, but a few new shooters/members. I FLEW out of my watch post when I saw this young man with an AR holing it sideways with the muzzle pointing in the general direction of the shooters to his left. I calmly asked him to keep the muzzle of his rifle pointed downrange at all times. I didn't want to spook the young fella and chance him launching a round.

Other than that and a few lizards it was a 'New Normal' range day
