1. Don't go into a range and argue with them over their own safety rules. If you don't like them, leave.
2. Don't complain about arrogant gun range people if you bring your own arrogance with you.
3. If you want peace and quiet and to be left alone while shooting, join a private range.
4. Always check yourself and ask the Ron White question: "Maybe it's me?". You never know.
That is just a start.
Where is the thread by gun range guys asking why 1 in 4 shooters are jerks?
I think it is necessary (and also preferable) for the range officers to have authority. Sure, some of the patrons may in fact be more knowledgable than some of the range officers. However, I really would not want to see a range where everyone who thought they knew more than the range officers felt free to question and over rule them.
If you don't like the rules, discuss them with whoever runs the range in a calm manner when you are not actually on the range. If you can't get that person to come around to your way of thinking, then decide whether you can live with their rules, and if not, you are free to go elsewhere. The point being that the time for questioning rules is when you are away from the firing line, NOT in the heat of shooting.
