CCW Story Part 10: Final Instructions

Our local indoor range has 10 lanes, allowing each concealed carry applicant to shoot at once. As my wife and I shared her Kahr K-40, I watched her and the other shoot first, and then swapped with her and shot last. In lane one, we had the young African American man with a Springfield Arms XD. Next to him in lane two was the Biker who had a decided on a Para 1911. In lanes 3 and 4 were the Glock twins firing 9 mm rounds. Lane five was occupied by the handicapped man, who had a combo walker/stool. He was renting a 0.38 caliber revolver. My wife and I were in lanes 6 and 7, with the Taurus waving Bapticostal in lane eight, crazy lady renting a 0.38 revolver in nine and the geezer with his 1950's 38 revolver in lane ten. Bruce laid out the safety rules once again. I was beginning to take a shine to Bruce, as he was proving to be a safety first kind of guy. Bruce hung X-8 targets at each station and showed us how to run out the targets using the control switches, and how to work the lights. Next he showed us the location of the electric eye that marks the edge of the firing line. Should anything cross it, an alarm sounds. Bruce instructed us to stop firing, set our Ha-weapon down, and step back from the line, should the alarm sound.
