The failure by this gun range to check her ID was a bit foolish. I would think that all gun ranges would have a check-in and identification procedure if the shooter is using their handguns or rifles. I could understand if the shooter is bringing their own firearm to a range, but they are putting a gun in her hands without any record of who this person is.

I’ve always wanted a MP5. Just sayin. Now, I’m off to peruse Craigslist.

If you are going to steal a gun, stealing an HK MP5 is a pretty sweet gun to steal, especially if it’s full auto.

There was a gun range in my neck of the woods that rented a handgun to someone who walked right out the door with it and shot his ex-girlfriend a few hours later.
Absolutely horrible tragedy, and expensive for the gun range’s insurance company.
But they’re still in business. They have implemented much tighter rental procedures though. Before they would hold your driver’s license while you were shooting the rental. The guy who walked out didn’t bother trying to retrieve his license.
Now the rental gun is delivered to the R.O. who then delivers it to you in your lane, and you’re not allowed to leave your lane until the R.O. gets the rental back.

She probably just accidentally tucked it into her purse as she rushed off to a nearby sale.

There might be some usable forensic evidence thereabouts, especially if she rented a pistol first.

I’ve never been to a range that did not check id’s strictly, and indoor pistol ranges typically hold your drivers license if you are “renting” a firearm. Unacceptable for the range in the story to be this incompetent.

Range I used to work for rented MGs and mp5 was an option. Signed waiver, I.D., and an employee had to accompany the renter while it was checked out. we did not let those out of our sight. Fun and easy to shoot.

The failure by this gun range to check her ID was a bit foolish. My range keeps every shooter's ID behind the counter up front until you are finished shooting. This is extreme negligence.

Better order a pallet of ammo from ammo.com, and have enough mags to fill-up.

The article is incomplete, and leds to jumps to conclusions.
They did check and hold onto her driver’s license It was fake, and she left it behind when she stole the gun.

I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I’m just reporting what I saw at lunch yesterday.
