In which case, the instructor only loads one round at a time. This would completely prevent this incident as even a possibility. Then you could gauge how well the "grown adult" is able to handle the weapon, and move from there. It would've been clear after the first shot that "Nope, only baby guns for this guy for a while".
Poor fucker that owns that range has a lot of paperwork to do now, even though there were no injuries or deaths, this is what OSHA would probably deem a "SIF" incident. Fucking nanny-state.
One round at a time is the best advice here.
Stupid idiot fuck?

Fucking nanny-state.
Essentially you're arguing that the range should nanny the customers, like the state.
"My range, my rules. You look like a sissy who can't handle a hand-cannon, you need to prove to me that you can handle it before I allow you to shoot it freely. Don't like it, find somewhere else to shoot." This is a TRAINING issue, not a "nanny state" issue.
I'm not advocating that the state nanny anybody. I'm advocating for responsible training. That means not handing weapons above the skill level of a trainee to them. This is pretty simple, it's not about freedoms, it's about being sensible.
freedom must include the right to be a damned fool or it is not freedom
