This has happened 3 times over the years at the range I go to.
Yeah, why use your own gun when you can rent one?
The GunGrabbers are gonna have a field day with this one.
Wonder what “lead” him to do that?
Remember, there are no “do overs” in suicide. Once it is done, its DONE. Then you’ll be facing the Almighty and will have to give account for everything you have done or said in your life.
That scenario is far more fearful for me than anything in this life.
My local range would doesnt allow / strongly discourages a single person coming in and renting a gun all by him or herself anymore. Too many incidents like this.
The neighborhood they were located in was better advertisement for “Hey, maybe I need a gun?” than anything else I have seen.
They had a standard policy that if you came to the range alone, they will NOT rent you a gun. I read the sign and immediately knew that it was to avoid this type of situation.
If a guy has his own gun, he doesn't need to rent yours, or come to your place of business to shoot himself. If a guy is coming in with a friend, he most likely isn't going to blow out his brains with the gun you rented to him.
Blythe's should adopt a similar policy. Keeps down on having to clean brains off plate glass windows.... brain leaves streaks!
There have been 4 of these in the Milwaukee area this year.
RIP.
“test-firing a handgun belonging to Blythe’s when he turned the gun on himself.”
Yep. It works.
I guess it all depends on what the meaning of “buying it” is.
I was just there, a couple weeks ago with a couple of my friends, because its close to them.
God rest his soul. I hope he is at peace now.
I am sure others have pointed this out but many ranges utilize a mandatory “buddy” system with no rentals to lone individuals.
