LESchwartz:
This one happened at a local gun range about two miles from my house:  https://www.hometownsource.com/abc_newspapers/community/coonrapids/acso-man-dies-by-suicide-at-coon-rapids-indoor-gun-range-on-wednesday-jan-22/article_032d21c2-d98a-11ef-9239-2bbb94898216.html.

I bet folks to try and shut it down out of concern for "public health".

Onepoint:
If you are determined, no amount of intervention will stop you aside from institutionalizing.

Danjal:
It's a well known fact for folks that rent firearms at a range that suicides can happen at them. They pretty much have carte blanche to refuse service/rental due to this and other safety issues.

My question here was it a ND or an intentional suicide? The end result here is the same sadly, it's just the motivation behind it that differs. Either way it's a learning/training experience for all RSOs and those running ranges worldwide.

LESchwartz:
It seems that while they are a rare occurrence, they do happen.  The following article references some research, but I can't find a link to it:  https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/03/07/suicides-have-prompted-some-gun-ranges-change-rules/iScgupW4w3AtyQuH3zgTRO/story.html
