This has happened at most of the indoor ranges around here in recent years. Some have had it happen several times. I don't think there is a hell of a lot you can do about it. This whole nonsense of not renting to a single individual is silly. Look at what happened to the mother and her son at that range in Florida. She shot him in the back of the head execution style, then offed herself. When someone is nuts you have no idea what they are going to do. These people seldom telegraph their goofy thought process.

And that is it, in a tidy little nutshell.
In most instances, no one can predict what another person may or may not do from one minute to the next. That is why it perplexes me to no end why the anti's always want to hamstring the good gun owners for what some fringe idiot MAY or MAY NOT do.

I'd rather have them shoot themselves than make a kamikaze attack on the highway and kill other people too.

The bottom line with instances like this is the same with almost anything else: You never know what's in another man's mind.

We can't predict the future or plan for what someone may do at any given time, so all we can do is prepare for a variety of things and roll with it as it unfolds.

Very true....would the same things had been said if the person had gone to a gas station, doused himself & his vehicle with gas, and lit it?....

Why, yes....I'm the right-wing extremist Obama warned you about... ;D

I just wish Texas was as free and independent as everyone thinks it is...   :'(

Exactly the point.
Things like the gun range incident happen every day and we never hear about it because anything other than a gun was used.
A guy goes through a nasty divorce or loses his job and drives into a bridge abutment at 100+ mph and it's a "sad occasion" and everyone moves on. Same guy offs himself at a public shooting range and gun owners everywhere (along with ranges) are vilified in the media.

I have to disagree with Peg in part.
When a guy flies his airplane into the house he just lost to his ex- wife it makes the papers too.
