Range policies differ. Most ranges will allow you to pick up YOUR OWN brass and take it home. Indiscriminate scrounging for brass is usually frowned upon, at least where I shoot.
Back in Miami, I was once shooting a 1911 for score, working toward The Camp Perry matches. We were so meticulous, that we would actually draw chalk outlines of our footwear, to insure that we always took the same stance. As I looked down to make sure I was within the outlines, I see an arm come between my legs to pick up one of my .45 cases!! Talk about disconcerting! The culprit was a notorious scrounger who made side money "commercially reloading" for a lot of the local shooters on a budget. He was eventually banned from the range.
Locally, we called people like him "br***holes".
