No doubt in my mind that had this perp not been shot, he would’ve tried for a high casualty rate. He’s seen pulling away from the shop owner and taking aim right at him. When you’re deranged enough to point a weapon at someone you KNOW to be armed, you’re either mentally unstable or intent on doing grave harm to a larger group of people.
The perp got what he deserved, and God bless this brave owner and his co-workers!
I never before considered what the SOP should be for returning a gun that you rent at a range. I think the best policy would be to have all rented guns inside a case and require them to be returned the same way.
You have to have some serious issues to pull a gun on someone at the gun range..
Suicide by cop comes to mind.
