I am not sure if I should post this or not, but I am deeply concerned. Two nights ago, Saturday, I was cleaning up at PTOC from OP Lazarus, when PTOC Chris and his buddy came out. They were trying to kick down a training door, that I believe was built by/used for BSP, when I see them reach into their waist bands. They proceed to place on the counter a Springfield XD and a 1911 (RS, not airsoft). I instantly knew what they were, however there was a 16 year old actor there with me (we were the only 2 there). The 16 year old proceeded to ask if those were airsoft guns, to which Chris replied that they shoot a little to hot for CQC. They proceeded to kick down this door approximately 10 feet from their firearms. I know this might seem trivial, but I honestly felt unsafe in the area. They not once said they were real firearms, and they did not maintain control of them.
I don't know if I am just being stupid, or what. I honestly don't know if this is even post worthy. I guess I just wanted to warn people of what was going on there. Even though he is moving out, I still feel the need to let the community know what was happening there. I have heard that this isn't the first RS issue, but this is one that directly affected me.

Is that just something I made up, or was that actually written down somewhere?

Unattended firearms is how accidents happen. How many time we see in the paper where a kid found daddys gun and shot himself with it or someone else.
It should have been locked away in his office. Since I have a CCL and so does he I know he has been taught on proper safe keeping of his firearm.

airsoft and real steel do NOT mix #1, and #2 careless disregard for unattended firearms at a airsoft location is also, very poor form. since he is closeing his doors, and shutting down buisness, i guess it wont affect him much now.....but in the future, trying to get community participation might be a problem. guess he might want to market his services outside this community, i doubt he will be getting much support from it anymore.
#3 when the accidents began to happen, there will be no turning back from " oh shit, where is mah gat? i left it on the table out front!! oh shit i better go get that quick before some kid picks it up, thinking its a airsoft gu......"
BANG!..../walks in to find dead kid on PTOC floor, bleeding out.
/buisness plan = bloused, index please.
Sounds like you have a bigger issue with S4. Unattended firearms IS how accidents happen.
