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.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I'd rather have them shoot themselves than make a kamikaze attack on the highway and kill other people too.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

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.
