I was driving past my local gunstore and noticed a news crew

A local range has had a three suicides in a month like 20 years ago. It was after the third suicide that they changed policy to only renting guns out to group or people who bring their own guns.

It also has been proven to not prevent the super crazies.

It really sucks for the range becuase they have to close down for a few days and pay out of their own pocket for clean up. I don't think anyone has the balls to sue for compensation from the surviving family.

We should require a suicide victim's surviving family to pay the costs of cleanup.

>>32679985
the person would need to be chained to the back wall to keep them from just jumping in front of the gun

Usually you sign an agreement that says the range is not responsible if you kill yourself

This, but you can't expect intelligence from liberals.

>>32679873
>>32679964
My local range has the "groups only" policy, and it's because they had several high-profile suicides a decade or so ago.

You can rent solo if you have a membership, though. I think they may want you to come in with a friend on your first visit but after that you're good. I bought a membership there for exactly that reason when I was first getting into guns and still lived with my antifuns parents.

One of my local ranges had a pair of aussie twin sisters who for whatever reason decided to become an hero, one succeeded and the other not so much.

>>32680098
Balance, or rather perceived balance.

Also they're afraid of the muzzle blast sometimes and want the gun as far from their face as possible.

>>32680098
it's a few factors
1. fear/unfamiliarity with firing guns
2. women typically have a higher center of gravity so they are trying to balance themselves
3. women see their breasts as a point of vulnerability and so they protect them by also chicken winging

>>32679733
Bro save yourself some money and drive down to Ed's in Vass. Gun's Plus is generally $200 higher on every gun I've ever shopped around for. All of the stores in the Fayetteville area are waaaayy over priced to take advantage of the young GI's looking to blow their bonuses. Come to Southern Pines and check out some of the stores here, it's like a 35 minute drive.

some of those higher end ones are like that. beyond snobbish. they assume if you aren't rich, there is something wrong with you (i.e. you're either too stupid or crazy to own a gun).

>>32680585

All gun ranges will be state operated as we progress and finally begin to institute common sense gun safety measures. Your guns will be perfectly safe in your rented locker at the range, waiting for you whenever you decide to schedule a shooting session and check them out of storage. Provided you pass the expanded background check and psych exam, of course.

>>32680582
Yeah fuck this town. I've never been to Guns Plus but I've passed it

>>32680622

>tfw I want to own a gun but leave it at the range because I only care about shooting at that 1 range because fuck that range is really nice.

>>32680389
This, they look like some weirdos from a horror film.

The gun store I frequent has a range attached (I don't use their range except to introduce new shooters since they rent out) has had two people suicide (different times).
After the first, they changed their policy to only rent to groups or someone who was getting a lesson. The second guy waited for the instructor to not pay attention for 15 seconds (which was all it took for the guy to hero).

My personal range also had someone hero, but that was because they overcharged 6mm Lee Navy cartridges to the point of primer blowout and his gun exploded in his face.

>>32679733
Someone did this at a range here. Rented a .45 and killed himself. Pretty fucked up since range cadre and owners saw it before EMS ever arrives

>>32679733
>carpet cleaning van
To go off topic for a second, why the fuck are there ranges that are carpeted? I'm not talking about the storefront part, but the actual range. Do people like getting lead poisoned

Has happened at a range I've been to around my city. Drunk woman with psychiatric conditions rented a gun and became an heroine. They let me rent by myself anyway years after that incident.

>>32680740
would you want to mop that shit up? I wouldn't. I'd call a mobile cleaning service that could suck it up and disinfect it (i.e. carpet cleaning service)

So that their family/friends/roommates/cats don't have to find them and clean up.
Save a little bit of money by renting, rather than buying, a gun they'll only use once.

>Has this happend in your parts?
I've been to a couple of ranges that had it happen. They no longer rents guns to singles who didn't also bring their own.

>>32680830

>>32679733

>tfw they're going to record this as a gun death and use it as fuel for gun control

I'll have to ask my local range about that.
Probably has happened at least once.

>>32680002
That's kind of odd. I remember going to Bills gun store and range (the store is about 50 times cleaner than the rest of the neighborhood to give you an idea of what part of town this was) in Robinsdale Minneapolis, and they let me shoot singles and it was my first time shooting a hand nugget.

>>32679931

I can't even begin to describe the fear I have of a random person doing this to me at the range.

>>32679950
Implying that you can't commit suicide with anything other than a gun. Ropes, bathtubs, and kitchen knives are pretty easy to come by.

>>32682323

Isn't that illegal?

Its not the surviving families fault. Plus that store should have its insurance cover it.

>>32680852
>Save a little bit of money by renting, rather than buying, a gun they'll only use once.

Man, if I choose to off myself I'm taking out all the credit I can, buying a fucking Ferrari and stuffing it full of cocaine and TNT before driving off a cliff while furiously masturbating. If you gotta go, you may as well go out having some fun. Granted, I don't have a wife or kids and my folks have way more money than I could ever hope to so I don't have anyone I need to worry about financially after I explode in a blaze of glory and intoxicants.

More reason not to go to ranges and have to deal with range nazis and suicidal people.

Your family would make meme money if you went out like that.

>>32684918
Well, it's not suing the surviving family, but rather suing the estate of the an hero. Range should have insurance, but there's always a deductible (unless they pay a higher premium with no deductible).

I don't think anyone would sue a grieving family becuase of PR, but I would imagine an estate with no survivors would be fair game.

Same, or even simpler, just a moron who sweeps the gun around with his finger on the trigger, gut shots and paralyses me for life.

This is why I shoot alone or with competent friends or 1v1 with some one less than competent.

>>32685048
The simple solution is to shoot at the range later in the day.

At my local indoor range, no one is there except range members after 5pm

No normies who just got a FN five-7 that they know nothing about.
Or people who ask how to lead mags.

An elegant solution, for now it's simpler to drive 15 minutes in to BLM land. Hell even if I wanted to shoot indoors in the winter - there ain't a facility in town, a calibers is opening soon, I'm sure it will be an over priced, danger filled shit hole.

>>32679832
They shoulda made it so that you can still rent guns by yourself but can only have ammunition if your with a group or you bring your own. Can't really suicide effectively without ammunition.

You know you have a problem when the one lonely dude is repeatedly dry firing a rented revolver into his mouth.

>>32679733
>Why do people do this?
Easy access to a firearm.
Family won't find your brainless corpse.
Don't have to worry about gun falling into bad hands.
Don't make a mess in your own house.

There's plenty of reasons.

>>32680740
Generally the bench/table for your gun is carpeted to prevent damage.

>>32684972
generally people who are actually going to commit suicide are only really interested in dying. Unless they killing themselves due to debt, in which case they can't get a loan anyway.

>>32684840
this. Straight in the ear should hit the brain stem

A local range has a modified singles policy. If you're alone and visiting from out of state, no rental for you. That's fine for us, because they come to our range and are happy with our higher than average prices. Unfortunately the store has had one suicide in the four years we've been open. I haven't seen the tape, but the guy was kind of nice about it. Came in on a slow day, waited until there was nobody next to him and the RO wasn't looking. Kept the gun point down range, just put his skull in front of the barrel.

>>32687832
