Yeah, as a gun owner, I try to avoid other gun owners. I went to have my my rifle scope bore sighted for the hunting season today. The guy at the counter picked up my rifle and flagged everyone in the damn store with it. I asked him to set it back in the case and left. I knew the gun was clear, and an employee cleared it when I came in, but you still don't do that, period. Now that I think about it, the guy didn't even clear it before picking it up and flagging everyone with it.
Same.
I once watched a range safety officer finish his shift, then step up to the firing line with his own handgun and promptly point the muzzle down the line at me while chambering the first round. I packed up and left, and haven't been back.
It's really crazy how cavalier folks are around firearms. It only takes one lapse in judgement or attention to drastically change lives forever.
