OK, someone knocked you gun of a bench at a public range run by the state. You had no more ammo to check it so you went home without registering a complaint or checking to see if the range would be responsible for the damage if any. Then you wait about a year before you bothered to check the gun and scope to see if the scope was damaged. It was. What was the point of even telling us someone else damaged your gun if you didn't have the initative to have them held accountable or even to check your gun for a year to see if there was damage. I highly doubt a state range officer would have lied about damaging your gun and have another employe swear to it. I don't know for sure but having worked for a state agency that has a public range I doubt it and since you didn;t bother to report the incident, you don't know for sure either. They have insurance to cover all kinds of ills and people sometimes are careless, hence the insurance and the guy wouldn;t have been fired unless he had a history of being stupid. I have to wonder what the point of telling us the story
