Smoking pot at the range.

[JStarr]

I was at the gun range recently. I will not name the range, due to its popularity, but I was shooting and my wife made a remark about smelling marijuana. So i look over and see a couple jokers toking up right there in front of everyone. I'm not a drug user, nor do I condone it. So i packed up my stuff and left. There was no range officer there and these guys were just going willy nilly with their firearms. I am not about to be there when they barrel brush someone and their weapon goes off because they are dumb. I told the guy at the front dest, hopefully he took care of it. I wouldnt know. I didnt stick around.

Huh? Nobody is going to smoke a joint on the firing line. Not at any public, patrolled range anyway.

Spring the details... or I'm calling BS.

Okay, great post. Thanks for letting us know.

 

[jsharmon7]

Yeah, that's a bad thing.

I have my own dopey dopers story to tell. A few years ago a nearby police department was called to a domestic in a trailer court. While investigating the officers noticed the smell of burnt pot in the air. A couple trailers down some people were watching what was going on while getting high.
Common sense is not common anymore.

Laugh out loud.

At least tell us where you were! My I would have gone up to them and asked them to take their asses else where. I don't want some lowlifes ruining my range time or possibly shutting down the range due to their activities.

I was at the range on Wednesday with my 15 year old brother....I would flip my sh*t if these tools where doing this while him and I were there.

I don't care what you ingest into your body but doing it in public + while operating firearms crosses the line PERIOD.

Cool story man, thanks for making sure we can avoid that range so none of us get bushwhacked by some pot smoking retard's ND.

Was it this guy?

Laugh out loud.

I know... I wish I could have repped Que for that.

I experienced similar.... at Dons guns, from an employee. But he smoked weed before walking into work and onto the range. Must be safe then.

Not saying this is untrue, but it sounds far-fetched. If it is true these folks are on another plain of exsistance of idiocracy.

Maybe it was medicinal?

Glaucoma is a real pain in the balls - eyeballs that is.

Not trying to justify your post but how familiar are you (or your wife) with the smell of marijuana?

I've known many to easily confuse it with the smell of certain cigars and to be frank,
Rolling your own cigarettes is becoming a trending 'hobby', if you will... meaning it could've been anything.

- Sure. Even Marijuana.

Just curious, though. Again, if it's a particular popular gun range that people frequent,
I have trouble comprehending a couple guys doing this at a gun range carelessly...

Its a pain in the arse to shoot tight groups when the old glaucoma is flaring up. My bad I didnt even know I was on the range yet. I thought that I was still in the van until some dude that worked there was all like, "hey man, hey bro, dude, you know you totally are smokin up my rizange and its creating a bit of like a harsh on our range mellos" I was like," uh....uh....ha,ha,haha. Dude, man, I totally thought I was still in the Mystery Van, my bad bro" so anyway after gettin my smoke on my eyes were better and it was time for class 3 full auto baby.

Dammit man! You are supposed to start a "I was smoking pot at the range and some a-hole told the range officer" thread!

You would have to be jacked up to work there.

I've smoked rolled cigarette in zig zags and prerolled gambler tubes.

ZZ papers STINK. Might have been that. Pot smells good, it's the paper that makes them smell skunky.

Also, pot doesnt make you an idiot or irrational. It actually creates focus and relaxation. If they were being stupid, odds are their gene pool is shallow or they laced it.

Regardless of it being illegal, pot is less harmful than alcohol...and it's effects are far less severe. When I smoked, I was more able to function than when I am drunk...the same goes for everyone I know who has ever toked that I have spoken to.

Regardless, if they were smoking, it was pretty stupid.

Your story really harshed by buzz, dude.
