I think shotgunners look the other way sometimes, because the sometimes the folks that are waving the guns around a little carelessly are the loudest and have the most assertive personalities. I think if the club folks in general let them get away with it, then it's probably better to just move on. Righteous as someone might feel, it's not always practical to cut through the clubs' pecking order. It may not be practical, but still worth trying if someone were up for it.
Look the other way?
Safety is safety and it is everyone's responsibility. Accidendents are preventable. I don't want to see anyone hurt, I don't want to shoot around unsafe people, and I don't want to fuel the "shooting is unsafe" headline that will result from an accident.
Speak up and correct unsafe conditions. It is your responsibility as a shooter.
