What if you had a members only range? Would there be a good way of doing that? That would be cool to build a members only range

Yeah. Generally any ranges that rent guns or let you try them out have these suicides. The problem is they make money selling guns so if they cut out people testing them - it hurts business. Not a fun business to be unless you can afford a really big operation.

Ranges that have had this occur usually discontinue their handgun rentals. That seems to be the most effective way of stopping this sort of thing from happening. The logic is sound - if someone already owns a gun, they can blow their brains out elsewhere.

The majority of these cases involve gun rentals - but not all (like that batshit-crazy woman who killed her own son at a range last year or so).

Texas Thunder Range in San Antonio. Nice facility, WAAAYY too expensive, and you have to buy their indoor ammo - can’t bring in your own. At $20 -$23 a box for my .40, I opted to go back outside.

All it would do is raise the cost of suicide by the membership fee.
