My first comment was "Please open the action". Many times the response was "Nah, it's OK, the safety is on". To which my response was liable to be "I didn't ask you about the safety! Open the frigging action". Occasionlly the guy whould go back to the club owner to complain about the big guy with the Lab. Result? That man was not invited back
We have the same policy at my club during any activity involving a firearm. One strike and you are out.
