The List of Offensive Shooting Range Stereotypes

Haha good read! I don't fall into any of those but have seen many. My favorite that I see time and time again is a mixture of 7&9. White kid, pants around knees, XXXXL white tee, HiPoint .45 (da biggest dey make). Shoots as fast as he can... hits the next lane's targets. If not that, he swears he only takes "head-shots". I try to stay well away from these types
Exactly what I do! I'd hate to get to the range and really want to shoot that gun I left in the safe.
How about the guy who tells everyone about this new polymer AR lower that costs nothing, has a great trigger, makes for a great budget build, etc, etc. coupled with an Adams Arms upper in 5.45 and Miculek muzzle brake startling everyone and generally messing-up hairdoos every time he pulls the trigger, which is a lot, by the way, because he's a cheap SOB and buys surplus by the case to get the price per round low.
Oh, wait, that's me...
Oh, wait, that's me...
Haha....good read. Makes me appreciate that I can shoot off my back porch.....yard.....woods......
The Gun Show Guy:
Usually will be clad in Vietnam-era camoflauge, US ARMY hat with colorful eagle and flag that he bought at a truck stop, and Franklin tennis shoes. Obvious that personal hygiene isn't a priority, he smells of body odor and Basic Full Flavors, 99.9% of the time will have a long scraggly beard. His beat up Isuzu pickup or 80's model Crown Vic will consist of HUNDREDS of anti-Obama, Confederate battle flags, and POW/MIA stickers. Don't let him fool you, he was a cook on base stateside during the conflict...but will swear he was in the Ia Drang Valley, Tet Offensive, and/or Khe Sanh. He proclaims the only guns worth shooting are Colts, yet he's there with a Norinco SKS and 30-rd ProMag. His deer rifle is...you guessed it- a Marlin 30-30 that he's killed many spikes with. His pistol will be none other than venerable Ruger P95. Anything else is just plain "commie garbage" or "Nazi guns". He will usually be found socializing with Jessie and Jamie.

So far I haven't seen a category that I fit into, so I will try and describe myself.
The laid back practical gun nut.
The laid back practical gun nut is not an expert, but knows enough to be dangerous, has basic gunsmithing skills, and is capable of giving good advice. The laid back practical gun nut likes being around other gun enthusiasts, but is more at ease shooting on private property with friends he trusts about firearms safety. Laughs to himself at the wannabe's on the range trying to be all tacticool to impress The Guest and Idiot Girlfriend.
He loves all guns except Jennings and RG, and will probably show up to the range with a Glock or two, a Sig, a 1911, AR, AK, and a .22.

this list is missing one
ohhh wait, the guy who wrote this list. lets call him the prejudgemental my S*** dont stink because i have a degree in badassery and guns. usually likes to pretend hes friends with everyone in the range (except hes a full fledged douche) and probably has alot of guns and shoots alot (which means he doesnt have a life outside of hanging around other sorry sad cased dudes at the range, hurray). you can find him wearing black most of the time (except for the speckled white flakes of dandruff on his latest GLOCK t shirt) and usually will start off with a pretentious no nothing comment he will rudely interject into someones elses conversation as if he were a walking wikipedia about guns and assumes everyone else knows nothing. lives on gun chat boards when hes not around the gun range itself. goes into way to much detail about firearms and who makes what, also knows every tactical situation ever and has pulled guns on people before for being stupid or unsafe (logic and legality by damned because hes a hardcore mother****er who knows alot of cops, but isnt one himself). speaking of cops most of his stories are outlandish lies that he swallowed and regurgitated from other half truths stemming from the pages of guns and ammo "it happened to me" section. of course when confronted with a possible hostile situation, his first reaction is to st--st-studder whispered threats and backpace as much as possible. ohh and when hes not an ex member of some small time who gives a **** police swat unit, hes a cowboy and a byronic hero out of a damn johnny cash song.
if i had to fit into any of the categories, im the guy who goes to the range when i can and just shoot and leave. maybe an hour there tops. i bring 4 or 5 guns sometimes at most, and i shoot whatever ammo i brought with me
