Any idea on when the range is open again?

They have two locations.

 

[babalou]

Professional cleaners. I actually know of a few that do crime scene cleanup.

they get paid in gold John Wick Continental coins

After they fix the hole in the roof

How does a gun range know if you are a prohibited person, besides you telling them you aren't?

They don't. Police friend sees people he has arrested in Freestate all the time. He doesn't go there anymore

 

[Mr. Ed]

AACo is.

As much as I despise the whole HQL mess, I could see ranges requiring one to be presented for rentals, in addition to a two-person rule. At least there is a slightly better chance of someone not becoming unhinged on the line.

I don't think it's completely preventable, no matter what steps are taken by the range. If somebody is planning to do themselves in, they're going to do it eventually unless they get the right kind of help at the right time.

 

[Trigger Time]

Have they ruled out the possibility that it was an accident ?

Who comes and cleans up the mess after an incident like that?

Crime scene cleaners.

 

[BurkeM]

Some of the comments in this thread imply that people sometimes go to gun ranges for the express purpose of committing suicide.

This is NOT uncommon.

They want to be found quickly.

Today, open as usual.

Yes, horrible.

And, there are much more pleasant ways to off yourself without making a mess and imposing it on others.

Multiple drug o.d. options, in a comfortable setting with your favorite music playing, or in a running car parked in a closed garage with the radio on (NOT a Tesla!), to name just a couple.

Don’t drag others into it in public places, or guns and gun rights into it, and don’t leave a mess for others to clean up.

I think ranges should continue to make their own rules.

It is uncommon. Otherwise, it would happen commonly, which it doesn't.

How many times have you been to a range when it DIDN'T happen? Commonly, I hope.

Semantics. It happens- not a daily event in each range.

22 a day is a real number.

22 of what, please? Context is everything.

 

[Huckleberry]

22 of what, please? Context is everything.

We are averaging 22 Service Members or Veterans per Day Committing Suicide

 

[4g64loser]

22 of what, please? Context is everything.

22 service members or vets taking their own lives every day.

Google Platoon 22. It's an ugly truth.

Right, but I think the original question was if suicide at a gun range happens often.

 

[Jim12]

We are averaging 22 Service Members or Veterans per Day Committing Suicide

That is a horribly unacceptable number -- by 22 per day -- and it's indictment of how our society deals with veterans and their issues. It's a disgrace.

But it has nothing to do with the instant discussion of random suicides at gun ranges.

Service members' and veterans' suicide prevention deserves its own thread and a movement to put it to an end.

 

[rbird7282]

Is MD saying a pamphlet could have prevented this?

I'm sure they will. Of course people who commit suicide are not thinking rationally so seeing a pamphlet about it won't do a damn thing.
