Let me be clear here...
In Baltimore County at one of our local ranges, a stranger came in & rented a gun...
Sounds pretty simple...
He took the gun a box of ammo & a target out to the range...
Sounds pretty simple...
He hung the target & loaded the gun...
Sounds pretty simple...
He fired 1 round at the target an then...
He turned 90 degrees to the firing line & blew his brains out...
So why am I going to loan my gun to someone that I don't know..?
We have had 3 suicides at 3 different gun ranges that I know of within the last 8 years...
I don't know of any range that has been in business for some time that hasn't had a person commit suicide at the range. Many will rent the firearm too.
But if that wasn't available to them, they would find any number of ways to get the job done.
It's sad, but again we must not blame the tool.
