So, I go to my closest local club which only has a 100 yard range. Its mid-week and I'm the only person there on a range with 10 shooting benches.
I set up near the middle and walk out to put up my targets. When I come back, someone else had arrived....and out of 10 fucking positions he has to sit down at the one next to me.
Now please understand that this club, IAW with our communist fucking country government, makes noises about requiring the wearing a mask on the ranges. But I won't shoot with a mask on and with two of us, with 10 benches, we could have easily been 60 feet or more apart. That, and I have seen most of the major movers and shakers in this club NOT wear a fucking mask and if we can maintain some degree of separation, neither do most of the shooters.
I generally just tell people that I'm not wearing a mask and if we can stay kind of separate (its at least 6 feet between benches) and pretty much everybody has said, "no problem...I don't wear one either"
So, fuck wad has to set up right next to me and I said to him as I'm walking back "I'm not wearing a mask, if that bothers you then maybe you can set up at another bench".
He comes back with shit about being an RSO (half the fucking club, incl me, are RSOs) and mumbles something about requiring a mask, that we have cameras recording on the range (which I fucking know...I've been a member for close to 30 years) and some shit about not opening my mouth to an RSO.
Then the motherfucker sits down at his gun, pulls his fucking mask down below his chin, and proceeds to shoot.
I just packed up my shit and left...just didn't want to be anywhere near this jerk-off.
So, my problem is not with masks per se. I kind of lay out my view of all of this in this post, above.
The funny or sad part is he actually believes what he saying. Masks have been around a long time, to think there have been no studies whatsoever evaluating their efficacy with no positive outcome is just mind knumbingly idiotic. The same people here that yell when Trump gets called a racist are...

But I can't fucking stand the self-righteousness and hypocrisy that comes out of the mouths of the mask Nazis.
Actually, since I did absolutely nothing unsafe, I object to this self-appointed, RSO, keeper of virtue bothering me at all. He's a fucking RSO, not my den mother.
Ok, got that out. Really just needed to vent. Feel much better now. haha
