I continue to be astonished at the level of idiocy I see at the Range. Can I be frank....based on my personal experience, 30% of the people I see shooting have no business holding a gun. 70% have no business carrying a firearm.
Case in point....a young man and his presumed GF shooting next to me. He working a Walther 22 and a 1911. Grip technique terrible, but he’s teaching his GF.
She can barely keep the flip from hitting herself in the head. She is holding the gun low and wrapping her wrist with the weak hand. I offered to help. Offer declined.
Next thing I know she is trying the rack the slide. Takes the palm of her hand, with a loaded gun and pushes the slide back. Her hand is covering the business end.
At this point, I interject and stop them. Another shooter has same reaction. I ask the dude...did you see that? Nope. Not a clue. And he has a holster stuck in his belt.
