What is the big deal with loading and holstering your weapon at the gun range? Don't those of you who have CHLs ALWAYS carry your guns? What is different at the range? I am just a little unsure at why this is such a big deal. And for those of you who support this "sanction"...why? What is so different than YOU carrying your weapon on a daily basis, or hanging out with people who carry their weapon? What is the risk involved at the range?? I am totally baffled on this one...
It was not clear at the beginning of this thread if he loaded his gun ON the line or behind the line. If he had loaded it behind the line; IOW, behind other shooters, it was not a good idea and he should have been counseled.

Now we know that he loaded the gun and holstered the gun ON the line, and I don't believe anyone here has a problem with that.

If the range prohibits it, then he will either have to comply with their rules or shoot elsewhere; regardless of what we think about it.

Sorry if I appear to be ranting on this, but the more I think about it...Well...I think I'll just step back and blow this issue off...
That is the key. If you are going to load up and holster for carry outside of the range, do it ON the line, not behind it.

This is your first post as "Nitrogen" in this thread, yet you post as though you are responding to something you already saids; someting like "Ejector" said. Do you use two screen names here?
Nope. I've reholstered behind the line there before, but never asked. If they have a problem with reholstering behind the line (with CHL) then I'll take my business elsewhere, is all I was saying.
Please reconsider. It is common and proper SAFETY to NOT handle weapons behind the line. I don't want someone handling a weapon behind me while I am on the line shooting. If I get shot, I don't want it to be in the back at the range.

Where did you do this? On the shooting line, facing downrange or behind the line?
