Not surprisingly - I'd truly hate to be a range officer with the responsibility for ensuring everyone's safety on that range!

I would say that the safety rules and range rules are very strict there and apply to everyone :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And wouldn't you just love to be the poor sod who has to go up to the guy with the fully automatic Uzi and enforce those rules?

Knowing the rigmarole these guys go through to legally hold full-auto machinery (not entirely dissimilar to our set-up for holding ANY type of gun!), I'd say they are as protective of their good name and as aware of the PR implications of misbehaviour as we are here.
Going by the attitude I see on various U.S gun forums, I'd surmise that the Range Officer in question would have a LOT of backup from other shooters if he had to discipline someone for being casual with range rules.

I agree , the majority of the Shooting public are very responsibile when it comes to Firearm Safety . And Yes , All range officers get the support required on all ranges.....

Considering that there has never been a legally held class3[full auto]weapon stolen,or used in any crime since 1932[ATF stats].The federal hoops you have to jump thru to get a class 3 lic,and the COST of buying,feeding and caring for one of these beasts[you dont pick up your brass,you snow shovel it away!!].You will be a very rich or poor man depending on your perspective at the end of it all.
But to answer the saftey point,at all of these machine gun shoots saftey is more paramount than at a conventional range.Everything from the backstops to the drill for jams,[imagine getting a jam on a Bofors anti aircraft gun.Which you can own under class 3 laws as well,as the full auto mechanism takes over from bore diameter]to not even allowing pregnant women anywhere near the firing line[lead dust,or even the slight possibility of this ,and ending up with a class action lawsuit.Maybe one to consider for future range rules here in the second most sue happy country in the Western world?] is enforced with vigour,and by all concerned.

Ah, Knob CREEK Gun Range

My brother tells me that my future sister-in-law has relatives living in Louisville, Kentucky.

I can foresee a trip to visit them some April or October
