[QUOTE="MilitantBEEMER, post: 3501090, member: 44437"] When I was in my early twenties, my dad and I went to an outdoor shooting area in Princeton Iowa. We were the only ones at the range that day at first. After a bit, a truck pulled up with a man and woman in it. It stuck out because he immediately started loudly telling her to get out of the truck. She complied at which time he moved her to the firing line with a 12g and made her shoot it. She was telling him she did not want to but he got increasingly agitated so she complied. She put the shotgun not so snugly up to her shoulder and pulled the trigger. It knocked her on the ground and she began crying hysterically. He grabbed her and put her in the truck while laughing and proceeded to leave. (We were miles from town and no cell phones then) A few minutes after he left we went down range 50 yards or so to fix our targets. While we were setting them up he came racing back and jumped out of the truck with an AR type rifle and started shooting the targets in the lane right next to us, about 15 feet away. My dad and I began to yell and we hit the ground as he continued to shoot and laugh. He emptied the mag, jumped in his truck and tore off. Both of us were unarmed and defenseless. To this day I no longer go down range at a public venue without being armed, and I always leave someone at the bench armed as well. That range is still in operation but is now manned by Iowa DNR officers to make sure everybody behaves nice and safe. Some things stay with you as if they happened yesterday. [/QUOTE]
