Glad I don't have that problem, I go shooting at the old strip mines; no one would be brave enough to go up and confront people with AR's and AK's in a place as sketchy as it is.

Quoted:
CSB Dude walking around stealing everyones brass was trying to tell us we were not able to shoot tannerite. Could not shoot any ammo that attracts to a magnet. No rapid firing. No AR's (cops would be by any minute to confiscate them). The guy was a very not fun person today. I was not pleased. It ruined my range trip. I would rather pay to go to a range than deal with people telling me what to do. Was the dude an official of the state or feds? if not tell him to fuck off. |

Unless you are an exempt LEO, California plus guns never equals fun. At best it's a dry hump.
Edit to add: I hate brass buzzards and go out of my way to keep them from brass. |

You're out shooting on public land, someone else tells you what to do, and you listen to the guy?
Why didn't you tell him to go get fucked, or get back in your vehicle and find another spot to shoot at? Fuck that guy. Should have pissed on his leg. |

People like this blow my mind. I have never met anyone like this and I shoot on public ranges 99% of the time.
If someone came over and picked up my brass I would lose my shit, and I don't even reload. |

if that was on public land, you're doing it wrong.
if another human being is within eyeshot on BLM or NF land, you are officially a pussy who is too scared or lazy to find your own piece of ground. you want to be somewhere like this...

Whenever someone tries to steal my brass I pull out my HK91 and hit them in the head a few times with the brass, if they are still conscious, they get the hint.
Seriously, where I shoot someone/everyone else would of ran the guy off, at gun point if need be. |

It just occurred to me that the perfect antidote to brass thieves is a bullwhip. I expect a couple of close encounters would be enough, but if I caught a finger I would not cry.

just for the record, I pick up lots of free brass at the free public range where I often shoot. When others are there, I ask if they
reload and reuse their brass cases. if yes, thanks much, and I move on. If no, I offer to police up the area when they are done. Folks there are almost always nice and are glad to offer up the empties. Many time I have cleaned up the area and then given the brass to somebody I just met who is starting to reload. I have plenty, and I have time to clean it up. I just dont want to see it wasted and thrown away. some people even pick up their own brass and bring it to me. Its a good place to shoot with good people for the most part. I have met quite a few good folks there, seen them time and again. Shooters are often the best of people. OP, it the mouthy guy is not some kind of official there, he should be told to piss off. remember not to smile. |
