  • No UZI for you!

    If you read the with the soup Nazi voice in your head you would be right.

    So I finally got at least a part time job as a shooting range instructor.
    This range caters to people from several surrounding states that have many limits/illegal.
    So this couple shows up I got through the safety brief. So what do you want to shoot? Guy wants the UZI, Sorry that's not aval. what do you mean it's no out? The one MGR speaks up- it broke. The guy goes off how's he's driven over 2 hrs and he's called 3 times to make sure it we had one. Calls are taken at the front counter who may be up to min on gun malfunctions. But we end up going back and fourth on why he can't shoot the Uzi,
    - no it will not be fixed today, it broke after we opened, no you can't look at it, it's not out, it's not out, it's in the gunsmith shop, no you can't just hold it, it's now locked up in the shop, the guy will check it out later and will have to order parts no clue what will be needed or were/when we will get them. Yes it is bad, well it went full auto, the sear most likely had a issue the smith has to look at it, yes it's very bad safety wise and the gov frowns on it.
    Finally I made a show of having the mgr "call" up front on the radio to know it's down. He looked at me funny for a sec until he realized how I was placating the SC he never keyed it but he "yelled" at the mic. I go back to the SC ok the people who might of told you were beat about the head and shoulders, anything else you want to shoot? They had a good time anyway.

              should have offered to let him fire a .577 trex, saying that it will give him all the "Man Points" he will need for a while. and if he can fire it and not lose the rifle, i will buy him an uzi myself

                    That was later, his GF was shooting a handgun for the first time ever, so the 1st time it goes BANG, she will be surprised. Rather then let her savor the moment, UZI boy started going off how she had to get right back on it and shoot the rest of the shots. "to get over it" Insist she shoot a revolver double action just dumb stuff that taught nothing on proper basics.
                    I nicely brought up why I was there over 18 years with the US Navy Rifle Team, interservice and National championships, 2nd place in the Atlantic Fleet, Local BSA council member, runs BSA rifle ranges and can sign off the merit badge, NRA rifle inst, RSO, soon to be Pistol inst.
                    THEN he got the idea to STFU and let me inst.
                    This is SO different from any other service job. We are expected to get hands on with people, if needed grab them and/or pin them to the wall so they can't wave it in a bad direction. Because we hand them loaded guns! If they fail to follow the rules, a loud stern yell is expected and required, and booting with a perma ban is not uncommon. Yea we all can carry at work. Thankfully it has never come to that.

                      Putting any gun in this clown's hands just seems to be a _REALLY_ bad idea for some reason...

                        Maybe this is just because the ranges near where I live insist upon it, but aren't you supposed to pause for a few seconds between shots in order to 'get over it'? Repeatedly pulling the trigger till you're empty just increases the likelihood that your fire will veer off target from the building recoil and potentially hit more than you intended.

                        I dread to think of what would happen if he'd actually been permitted to fire the uzi with that attitude...

                          I have to admit, the phrase "can I just hold it" sort of stuck with me. Does he really want to, like, snuggle it or something? Because that's just weird.

                            Oh that's rule #2 here. She did ok. I only had to warn him once.

                            On the plus side my 1st customers was a b-day party, a group of 8 women. None of them did it before so it was a bucket list thing, all listened and took inst like champs.
                            Couple even shot a Desert Eagle .44mag the Bday girl was Annie Oakley with it.
                            Real giggly but in a real good way and left a real nice tip to boot.
