One of our regulars left in a huff a couple of Sundays ago. He swept me 3 times in 30 seconds. I quietly said something to him off to the side and later made a general announcement about muzzle safety. I looked up in about 5 minutes and he was gone. My home...my range...my liability...and His feelings got hurt???? If I shoot me...no biggy. If you shoot you...oh Shiite!!!!
Tex shot himself with a 1911Glock Leg lives!
Please let his name be Tex!

How does that happen?? A PROFESSIONAL FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR SHOOTS HIMSELF???? They are the Gods, the exalted, they know everything and will gladly take your money and teach you how to shoot yourself also...
The range manager where I go doesn't allow any drawing from a holster, probably lucky for all of us, especially new shooters like me!practicing drawing from hip
Guy shot himself, thought it wasnāt bad. Packed up and went home without reporting it. At home, decided it was bad enough to go to the ER. At the ER they call cops for gun shot wounds. Next thing you know the range is full of Sheriff deputies and they call cease fire and everyone go home so they can investigate. He was a left handed shooter, practicing drawing from hip. On the far left side of the pistol bay , the one where you can setup a table, no bench. I am also left handed and have done this many times. But probably not going to be allowed in the future.
Thanks Ole Pard. I don't intentionally try to hurt folk's ego....but Damn!!!!yep, and if you don't like it..... GTFO!
Yup, recently had a bloke thatās driven the same type of reach forklift for 25 years get close to a fixed object, by reflex he stuck his hand out and lost over half of his thumb by crushing.Stuff happens. Tough lesson to learn for sure. Anyone who has been on the training line when there a bunch of folks with guns knows the worry is real.
How does it happen? Hard to say without seeing a video, finger on the trigger or something impinging on the trigger during holster most likely. When you have done something a million times maybe you get complacent? On a job where you have machines people get injured all the time. They do things day in and day out. When you around dangerous things little mistakes can be catastrophic. Guns are no different than any other machine.

I bet all I got in my pocket if it had been you the response woulda been...ā¦.Damn, Billy watch me and I'll watch you. Us old boys need to be keeerfull!It wasn't me, I don't got none of them dangerous man killerz.
Iāve learned thereās a proper technique to bruising someoneās ego. If theyāre convinced youāre doing it because you care about them, you can say harsh and painful truths. Theyāll still appreciate you, not so much the moment.Thanks Ole Pard. I don't intentionally try to hurt folk's ego....but Damn!!!!

Maybe because it's indoors, I'm not sure. I know drawing is important, but maybe they have lots of new shooters there, and he doesn't want people waving guns around....I guess I should ask him, right? LoL.@Millie why do they not let people practice drawing from a holster? From a self-defense standpoint drawing your weapon efficiently is important.

I just do my drawing at home, sneaking around the house while the cat watches and shakes his head!
This is how I get around the no draw rule. I'm glad to know I'm doing something else to help my shooting.then practice pressing out and firing from step two in the draw
I'll try to remember to ask if he's there the next time I go, which will be tomorrow or Friday.Every range has different rules. If I were you, I would ask cause that one I just don't get but they may have a good reason. I do a lot of drawing during dryfire practice which is helpful but we need to put all the steps together on the range when we can. I would be interested in knowing his response if you decide to ask.
