More Craziness Here In MN
« on: January 23, 2025, 01:23:14 PM »
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".

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

Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

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.

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
