I used to RO at a local range (Norfolk, VA) and I've seen all manner of unbelievable acts and behavior.
I loved it when the gang banger goes into the shop downstairs and axes the owner for some AK ammo. He sells him a box of 5.45 and sends him on his way...after all, he didn't say what kind of AK!
We used to rent all manner of firearms to the public. Any stainless auto and the Glocks were, by far, the most popular with the gang banger types. BTW, Sig and Glock would buy the gun back after 100,000 rounds so they could inspect it for wear and try to improve the design.
On one occasion, a middle-aged man came into the range and rented the .380 pocketlite. he bought a box of ammo, fired 5 rounds (as I watched on the CCTV) then returned the gun to the counter and left. The following day, he came in and rented the same pistol. He then proceeded to walk into the range (with muffs and eyes) and blow his brains out!
We had to call bio-hazard people to clean up his mess.
On another occasion, a young AA couple rented a G19. They had fired a few rounds when apiece of jacketing came back and hit her in the forehead. VERY small wound, think papercut, but the theatrics she put on were a sight to see!
After I stopped the bleeding (head wounds bleed allot) and put a snoopy band aid on her head, she said she was going to call her lawyer!
I gave her a copy of the waiver (that she had signed) to take with her.
I could go on for days....
Anyone else got any good stories?
