Banning isn’t the only answer. It’s almost like saying go do that sort of bs someplace else.
Yeah, it borders criminal negligence but that’s where it gets subjective, House rules don’t make provisions beyond kicking someone out. Do that act on the street and the consequence is different. It’s an intentional display of carelessness but lacks intent to harm. Take away his CCL and firearms? Who’s to say.
The maroon should be required to attend 100 hrs of range safety classes. Obviously he was asleep during the first few hours of day 1 classroom. Foolish and inappropriate acts happen but what he demonstrated was pure jackass stupidity.
The range should have made him a poster boy and taught him the right way...at his expense of course. Sending him off with a verbal admonishment might do the trick but this guy just appears to be just an otherwise responsible, albeit nonchalant doofus - emphasis on “taking a selfie”.
In fact, unless the range was that busy or understaffed, buddy/buddy or not, why (or) are two people allowed side-by-side, operating a cellphone, yakking it up or clowning around in the active booth anyway?
