[QUOTE="mike_pinto, post: 821937, member: 3951"] If muzzles are up and the firearm has been cleared by the shooter, verified by the range officer, dry fired and chamber open with the safety on, what might else would you suggest to ensure the firearm is safe. The policy is that it is pointed straight up, so how would that be pointed at someone's head? Sweeping someone, or yourself even unloaded is unsafe gun handling and subject to DQ If someone discharges a weapon, and someone is in the way of the projectile, then I am sure state and federal laws will prevail. There are several thousand of matches a year and thank the powers to be, very few accidents. If you do not feel comfortable with the safety policies, this might not be for you. Keep in mind that this isn't just a bunch of gun totin' rednecks shooting beer cans down at Lexington. We take the safety aspects of this game very serious and demand all shooters that participate do the same. Quite a few of us are sponsored by major manufacturers and have been doing this for quite some time. Believe me, you have more to worry about on the drive home from work then a match ran by my fellow MD's. Sorry about being so blunt, but you sort of struck a nerve by implying we were going to let people wave their loaded guns around while yelling yee-haw and discharging recklessly. [/QUOTE]
