    Another reason why I go to outdoor ranges. If I ever do go to indoor ranges I try to go during the slow hours and be at least a few lanes away from the main crowd. And another reason why I pack a med kit in my range bag.
    +1000 on a med kit. I always have one with me. Never know when you will need it

      Exactly what I did yesterday around 2pm. Still got hit by a ricochet from 3 lanes over. Luckily skin wasn't broken. Can never predict the stupidity of other people.

        Don't get me wrong.. I love the freedom of BLM and the safety of not being around others.

        However, I am not sure why everyone is hating on public ranges. The same "idiots" you share the range with, are the same "idiots" that you share the road with.

        I know it is scary, but I think your odds are better at the range then on the road. You probably have a better chance of getting killed in a car accident on the way to/from then at the range, imo.

              I have NEVER seen anybody on the road next to me firing guns, and NONE of their cars have had bullet holes in them.

                      I love going to the gun counter and watching the firearms demo with a prospective shooter. I love it even more when after the 57 second demo and blessing they get the lane right next to me. I love it further more when they attempt to load the projectiles backwards into the "clip". And lastly I would like to thank the R.O. for having the decency and common sense to escort said shooter/s into their lane and ensure all is well. Happy shooting.

                        I know It is scary. Some people don't get it when it comes to guns, safety, safety , safety. The scary part is he had someone's daughter with him.

                            When I was done shooting and was looking at some eye-candy (SA Loaded 9mm in SS) and talking to the guys, I found out the guys girlfriend said that dude was trying to clear a jam and may have shot himself in the hand.
                            If that's the case, he should not be handling firearms at all.
