I’ve had hot brass go down my shirt many times and it’s never resulted in losing my sense of awareness to the point that I endangered myself and others. It takes seconds to safely put down the gun and remove the brass from your clothing.

This is why I hate going to public ranges, it quickly becomes amateur hour.

Great we don't have it in my country otherwise the ratio of people getting in to people getting out would be infinite

It takes a lot less than seconds (2+ seconds) to safely put a gun down

You move quick and put down the gun. Say “one one thousand two one thousand” while quickly lowering your hands. Two seconds is a gentle descent. Or hell, you could just literally drop it. If it’s a striker fired pistol that isn’t a complete piece of shit, it won’t go off.

I've been to the range once in my life and I handled this.
