it was a suicide?AFS should have the Samaritans' Hotline # on all their doors and ports at this rate.
Better a suicide than negligence though. Not by much...

north attleboro (bristol county) 5 john l dietsch square pd on scene of a person shot at american firearms school medics report trauma arrest cpr in progress 1213
2 buddies were there with their boys when it happened. Tells ms the deceased was there with his brother. I assume that they went together to rent, and one committed suicide. Sad that they also had to see it, especially the boys
Not good is right. This type of sh*t gives the anti-gun zealots additional statistics to use against shooting facilities in their efforts to shut them down.Four in less than ten years at AFS, not good!
I was reading this and thought it was a typo. Is the assumption that because I have my own gun if I wanted to shoot myself I would have done it already?Not sure. It wouldn't be the first time though. They've had enough that they changed their policy on rentals a few years back. You can't rent if you're alone unless you have your LTC and your own firearm(s).

There is also the liability issue. If you rent a gun to an armed individual it is tougher for plaintiffs counsel to successfully argue that the individual could not shot himself but for the supply of the gun by the range. I've noticed signs like "you may only rent in groups if you do not have a CCW" or "if you do not bring your own gun" in other states where rental ranges are more common.Yes. Six years ago when I was totally new to shooting I asked what the reason was. The employee was kinda' beating around the bush and I wasn't picking up on it so he finally blurted it out. He seemed almost emotional about it and I felt bad for being so naive.
