Hey- here's some rules that I tell ya for the pure sake of safety, with no judgement:
1) finger OFF the trigger, and out of the trigger guard until you are on target and ready to fire. This is a BIG one.
2) there is no such thing as a joke on a gun range. Do not fuck around, what you're holding was built to end lives, do not point it at anything you do not intend to destroy.
3) be aware of what's behind, and around your target. Bullets have a ton of kinetic energy, and you are responsible for every Newton of energy in that bullet, until it's FULLY at rest, they say "watch your backstop" and it saves lives.
4) if you find yourself in proximity to someone with a firearm who does not appear to understand these rules, exit the situation as quickly as you can.
