There is a certain ghoulishness about jumping in with assumptions so soon.

(35,699 posts)so they can use the gun range is responsible for NRA policies. Okay, I see where you are coming from and there is little point to trying to reason with you.

I always end up cleaning up more than I shoot when I get there but it's a great little range near one of my geo caches.

(2,708 posts)petronius: OT, but 'Timonium' is a very interesting place-name - wonder where it comes from
If I remember correctly there's a horse race track there in timonium, maryland, maybe 40 miles north of pimlico; timonium a flat track with cheaper claimers I'm thinking. Maybe a feeder to pimlico.
Off chance tho, that that's a contributing reason (gambing debt), more like coinky dinky.
Shootings at shooting ranges are usually suicides, rarely homicide attempts, tho suicide by cop could spawn suicide at target ranges, ya never know wit gunnuts.

(1,089 posts)It would be unusual for one to find it necessary to rent one (or go to a range, at least) to end their own life. Please don't bathe in the blood here.
