Eren and I went shooting down on the inlet past Girdwood to what the press named the "rambo range", as in anything goes. And while 90% of the range users were responsible, that other 10% were stupid, stupid, stupid.
Bringing propane tanks to shoot at. Firing tracers at the hillside (and starting a small fire). Shooting at the train that goes by or even dumber, shooting at the train tracks. In fact the range access was closed by the Railroad Corp as you had to cross tracks to get there.
I was once shot at (or nearly at) AFTER I cleared the rang to reset my target. I called "RANGE CLEAR" and received "Clear" in response and I headed down range. As I was reseting my target.....BLAM and the ground 5 feet to my right exploded. I pulled my pistol from my holster and took aim and yelled "Drop your weapon or I start shooting back" I was not kidding.
The party in questions was, and I kid you not; 4 Arab guys and one hot girl sharing a revolver. They all started yelling at the one shooting and he realized that I was standing right next to his target. A very strange look came over his face is he went from realizing that he shot at his target while I was standing next to it to the fact that I was pointing my weapon at him. His friends scattered to the sides and he dropped the revolver, saying "sorry, sorry, sorry". I did not re-holster my weapon but did drop the barrel. They left right away.
