Gun Range, Let's Be Safe

I observed a gentleman show up with his son and his son’s girlfriend. The son and girlfriend looked like they were in their mid-20’s.
The dad then tried to teach the girlfriend how to shoot for the first time….. Very poor instruction to say the least. I continued to watch the “training” and immediately called a “Cease Fire”
I could tell this wasn’t going to end well. I offered some assistance and was rejected. As a range safety officer, (this incident was not at my outdoor range) I stopped the fire line and asked that both be removed from the range until they had the proper training form a certified instructor. The indoor ranged operator agreed with me and asked them to leave until they had proper training.
I offered all three of them training at my outdoor range. I told them this is the training that they will need to move forward if interested-11/08/2025 still no answer:
MY RULES for Safety at My Outdoor Range:
• Tactical K Training and Firearms Safety Class (Must be taken before shooting at my outdoor range). The range is controlled by me and my team. No exceptions.
• Liability Form Signed.
• Safety is and will always BE #1... ALWAYS.
• You can take the CCW class in lieu of the safety training before entering my outdoor range.
• Range Day: have firearms ready to present to the RSO for inspection before use.
• Follow all Range Rules.
• The Range Safety Officer has the “Last Word”.
• Any conflicts will be reviewed by Gregg Kielma and the RSO and a final decision will be rendered. If asked to leave, do it.
