Range Safety Officer benefits

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

You say you provide, "effective range oversight." Well, maybe yes or no. I am an NRA RSO, which is possible for any person to easily obtain, even you. Since you have NEVER been a law enforcement officer as I am retired from, you were NEVER able to attend and benefit from the Advanced Firearms Instructor training I had at the FBI School at Camp Smith for two weeks and the Secret Service ADVANCED training for another two weeks. Both the FBI and Secret Service training involved firing MANY full automatic arms above the revolvers, rifles and shotguns civilians employ.

The FBI, Secret Service and the Inspection Service has Range Supervision requirements you may never had understood. My point is, there is a Standard you and your club should aspire to despite your lesser level of ability.

I say again, NO RSO can possibly supervise multiple ranges. I have been trained and you still have a need. I will comment no more to you as I understand where you are coming from. I say again, I will stay off your multiple "SUPERVISED" Ranges.

Be well.

Adam
