Have a local club north of Toronto now which is far more by the book, and while that can be a pain sometimes, I'm fairly relaxed knowing that the shooter next to me had to jump through all the same hoops in order to be there, so that's some comfort. I'm still mindful though.
That was the sense I got from Silverdale. I often bitch to my wife that Maple leaf is too anal about safety. I'm not a lose cannon by the way but some of their rules are a bit extreme, but like you say I'm not really worried about he guy next to me. It's a lot of family members, couples and their kids etc.
