So, I know that firearms must always be pointed down the range when unpacking/packing it. What's the proper procedure to unpack/pack multiple firearms if they are stored in a hard case pointing in opposite directions?

Take out the one pointing down range... Spin the box around, take out the other...

Yup that is all silliness anyway. As if closing the box means its not pointing anywhere anymore.

Closing the case means your booger hook cannot reach the bang switch.

Yeah. My range doesn't like it. But they acknowledge is just how you gotta pack sometimes. It's just a trust that you didn't bring it loaded and by making people do the flip it ensures no one handles a gun in an image direction nor do they openly sweep the range and cause panic
