Who ever thought that renting handguns to people was a good Idea?

Big business with the tourists apparently, my co-worker said he was there with his wife a few months ago and he thought he was the only one in the store that spoke english

Good moneymaker really, gun rental plus ammo.

I don't see in the short story linked where it says he rented a gun???

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —

Deputies said they believe a man shot and killed himself at an Orange County gun range Friday.

The shooting happened at the Oak Ridge Gun Range.

Officers said they’re not sure whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.

Police said the man, whose name was not released, was alone on a booth at the time of the shooting.

It doesn't. But this isn't the first time it's happened.

But you are correct and I retract my statement.

The absolute worst and least safe gun shop in all Central Florida

Which probably had/has ZERO to do with him offing himself.

Geesh, these people only think of themselves and don't think about the mess they leave behind for us to deal with.
You know this is just more justification for more firearm laws.
What ever happened to people just sitting in their car with the engine running and the garage door shut. That would elevate problems all around.

I always keep an eye out for anyone around me at the range. We had someone shoot themselves at our range as well. These days you never know what,when or where it could happen.

I think it's a great idea.

Well, it does seem like a effective way to thin the herd. Maybe the ranges need a wash down area?

I've only been to a  few indoor ranges, every one of them was staffed by assholes. I'll stick to shooting in my backyard or out at the range.

Driving around downtown Orlando I will say that they need to rent more guns around there. That herd needs some serious thinning.

Me too, it allows everyone to try a gun they might be considering, it  brings new people into shooting and it's part of our  gun rights to be able to rent a gun if we choose and for a business to rent one to us if they choose.

Dumbasses say the same thing; who ever  thought that selling handguns to people was a good idea ?" about selling handguns to people; screw that noise.

I'm tired of all the bullshit from people who don't support gun rights or support gunrights....."but"..............,

I never said it should be illegal.
I never said it should be regulated
And somehow I got grouped into "people that don't support gun rights"?

Before I recently moved, OR was pretty close to me, and it was my "home" range.  Like most indoor ranges, it's pretty loud, and it could have been better ventilated (even with the little fan above the booth on me, my glasses would often fog up), but I generally liked the guys working there and I've bought two guns from them.

As far as the tourist thing goes, I know it was rare that I was in there that I didn't hear at least one British accent, and they'd usually come in groups.  I actually asked a couple of the tourists on different occasions about it, and whether OR was in a tourist guide that they all got or something, and they both told me that it wasn't in a guide, it was just word of mouth among the Brits coming over on holiday.
