Where I live in Canada carrying your firearm past the firing line is definitely bad etiquitte. To the point that it could cost you your membership. To me it is ridiculous that you should have to carry your rifle with you while you go check your target. Maybe Canadians plain and simply are not as smart as our neighbours to the south. I can't imagine anyone in the shooting community in Canada taking an unattended rifle while its' owner was out checking his target. I am shocked to hear that this sort of thing is happening at all.
