I was out at Elm Fork awhile back and observed a similar situation. We were on the 25-yard pistol bay, and an older gentleman walked up. All the benches were full, so he stood patiently and waited for an opening. The only problem was, he didn't have a range bag of any sort - just a pistol in one hand and a box of ammo in the other. And the slide was forward on the pistol! One of the RO's quickly came over and spoke to him. They made him lock the slide back and set it on the bench while he waited. Let's just say he didn't care too much for these young kids telling him what to do, but he went along with it. Well, eventually the bench next to me opened up, and he took it. While loading his pistol, he turned it to the side which caused it to be pointed right at me. Again, the RO's approached him and chastised him. Not long after, he did it a second time. I stepped back from the line, called for the RO, and motioned toward the gentleman. The RO spoke to him again, and this time the man left in a huff. He was muttering angrily under his breath about the RO's being overbearing. I don't know if the RO kicked him out or if he just got fed up and left on his own - either way, I say good riddance.
