This is the first one of these I’ve heard of in front of a class, but there’s been enough at ranges that rent guns, that many won’t rent to someone alone, they have to be with another person.

“What is with people these days? It almost is seeming like they are acting like some kind of mindless zombies offing others then themselves. No explanation.”

Many drug company commercials list “thoughts of suicide” as a side effect.

Think they’d sell product or stock if they listed side effects as “thoughts of ‘murder and’ suicide”?

Don’t know.

I’m looking for the possibility that this man was some kind of gun grabbing nut who was trying to make a point.

Or maybe he was just disturbed (I know, same thing)

I would be willing to bet that he used a Range Rental Gun. If you would have had access to a gun, I think he might have committed this cowardly act prior to his training class. Probably in front of a crowd also. Would be interesting to know. I know that some employee’s of indoor ranges that are basically unsupervised get a little nervous when a questionable person with apparently NO or very little knowledge of what gun (caliber - ammo - eyes and ears) they want to rent for their paper poking. Also, I have been told by these peeps that along with these attributes, they really work up a sweat when this type of gun renter says that a;though he doesn’t own a gun, he brought his own target.

He might have been a DEA agent.

Another arrogant self killing in front of a group, so he’ll go out in glory, in the newspaper and on tv. Whata stupid individual.
