Rancho Magnum Range accidental discharge

[golfish]

I'm going down that way in a few minutes. I'll stop by there and let you know.

Otherwise known as an accident?

Negligent is when a human malfunctions in their handling of a firearm. Accident is when there is a mechanical failure that causes a discharge. Even accidental discharges can be relatively safe if the human manipulating the weapon is not negligent with it.

Anybody know if they are open for business right now?

They're open, at least they were when I went by there about 1pm

Good to know, thanks for the boots on the ground!

Indeed how did you like those 158gr boots?

They work great thanks, very clean and accurate. I ended up purchasing a few more and used them today.

RANGE UPDATE:
Range was open, medium-large crowds for a Thursday. Definitely more first-time shooters than usual. No RSO in the bay areas. Two employees at the front counter checking people in and out. One of them would come sweep brass occasionally if the front counter got slow. I was really surprised at the amount of autonomy the customers were allowed. Not that I'm complaining, that's what I like about this range, I was just surprised.

Damn shame.

I've listened to the safety instructions thousands of times over the years and still make a point of listening.

In my line of work accidents happen mostly to the noobs followed closely by those who've heard it all before.

Lots of new first time gun owners this year, that will mean lots of newbies at the range, be careful!

"accidentally goes off"

No it didn't. It didn't just take it upon itself to "go off".

It was a preventable negligent action by a human being, and likely an incident to be expected derived from one of the "new types" of gun owners that shunned gun owners and gun ownership for years, voted FOR gun control laws like Prop 63, voted FOR anti-2nd Amendment politicians because some other such thing was promised to be free, wants nothing to do with the NRA (has never heard of the CRPA for that matter), never took the time to read the manual, never took the time to take even a beginner course, never even took the time to watch a few free videos about gun ownership online, surely never took the time to learn 4 basic Jeff Cooper/NRA rules of safety because gun owners are crazy/phobic/racist/terrorists/something-something etc.

Because they know, she knows, he knows, they got this.

They removed the 'clip', it ain't loaded, see?

Winner winner chicken dinner! Probably both democrats!

At Jackson Arms in SSF the steel dividers all had bullet holes and impact marks on them ... the roof was shot up... the hangers were a mess

Always served as a reminder that I was surrounded by fools and I needed to keep a close watch of who was near me

At the qualification range at Travis AFB, there were bullet holes in the wall and windows behind the firing line I told the CADM guys you probably have the most dangerous job on this base!

I've really enjoyed this place. The last time I was there they announced a ceasefire. I don't know why but the guy was all over it, what ever it was.

They treat me with respect and are helpful with all my needs. I've never been to an indoor range that equaled or exceeded this one.

How did they both get shot?

I could guess what might of happened. But probably didn't.
But here you go. Gun jammed, 2 morons decided to look down barrel together, one looking over the shoulder of the person hold gun.
Gun fires, grazes the firearm holder while hitting the one looking over the shoulder.

This would seem likely, but doubt that is the case here.

My guess would be through his hand and into her
