Are they employing new RSOs at TCGC? Are they not telling them what their job duties are or how to approach or talk to the members? Over the past few days I've gotten in incidents with several new faces other than the 2 older gentleman that typically give the orientation and I've found their behavior and understanding of their job quite annoying, I just wasn't in a mood to pick up a fight so I let things slide.
On one particular day I got approached by the same person (person A) 3 different times:
1. I am parking the car and adjusting it, making sure it's parallel to other cars parked and that I'm not taking up more space than I ought to, person A walks and stands in front of the car (literally) with his hands in his waist and waves his card (asking that I show him my member card), I got out of the car with it running to show him the card.
2. In the same range, after I set up my stuff with my card stuck at the back of my shirt, same person, person A, after about 30 minutes, comes and starts talking and asking about my gun and this and that, taking into account, I have ear plugs and muffs on, there are other shooters actively shooting, he's talking and I can see his mouth moving and can hardly hear him, I don't want to look or sound rude to him, but I am not pulling off my muffs just to talk, not happening, my ears are far more important to me than your talk as long as I'm not doing anything unsafe or reckless. He had no complaints about me being unsafe, please leave me alone, I am focusing and enjoying my me time, I am not here to make little talk.
3. A different range, same person A, about 2 hours later, card still stuck on back of my shirt, comes and starts talking again, again, starts asking about my gun and this time starts commenting and giving advice on how I can improve my shooting posture, again, please leave me alone, I am enjoying my shooting time, if I wanted to talk I would've gotten buddies with me to the range. I doubt that there's anything in the job duties that says interrupt people and give them advice. Again, he had no complaints about me being unsafe or reckless or anything.
4. On other days, I got approached by other gentleman, their tone and attitude are much different from person A, less their interruption and talk and not knowing where to look for the card, either around your neck, stuck on back of shirt collar or lid.
I am comparing this behavior to that of the 2 gentlemen that give the orientation, which I've witnessed when they were checking out the different ranges, they walk around, check the cards without interrupting you or anything, as long as things are looking safe, they leave you alone.
If I'm doing anything unsafe or reckless or against the rules, please stop me and ask me to leave and I will, if I'm not, please don't interrupt my me fun and focus time, a little cordiality and just let me enjoy my range time. Sorry for the rant..I just had to get it out
