9.9 Pucker Factor.....just throw safety to the wind
So I'm at Front Range Gun Club today as I had to try my new SKS-M, thank you KevDen its freaking awesome, I'll post photos in the 7.62 section later. had a great hour there. Put 50 rounds through her flawlessly. Had 6 rounds left in the magazine, put the safety on, and laid the rifle down on the platform. I turn and look to my right, there's a 70ish year old woman, what looks to be her son, and her grandson 2 lanes away from me. She has a little Beretta in a box and the son has a shooting bag. Grandma steps into the lane, I can see her through the glass, she takes the Beretta out of the box, points it at her stomach, and INSERTS A LOADED MAGAZINE!!! I'm about to leap over but her son realizes what she's doing and turns the gun around downrange. She now has a loaded Beretta without a round in the chamber, I'm nervous but at least it's pointed downrange. The son then turns his back on his mother to attend to his son in the lane to her right. Grandma now is going to attempt to pull the slide back to chamber a round but her shooting hand is so weak it start to point nearly upward then, my heart skipped, it looked like she almost covered her own head. I had to step in. I patted her on the shoulder and her son at the same time. I said I am very uncomfortable, you mother nearly covered her head and she needs assistance. He thanked me, I packed everything up and was out of there in 15 seconds. I let the manager know and my buddy and I left safe and sound.
