BGF Range on fire

[MikeDVB]

OMG terrible. This is my favorite indoor range! Uggh.

It's killing me watching IFD year through the exterior walls and it's not even my business. The owners must be pretty ticked off.

One guy a few lanes down from us said he still has 2 rifles and 2 pistols inside. At least I got out with all my gear.

Oh man, this totally sucks. I hope this wasn't caused by tracer rounds or any other such rules violation. And I hope BGF gets back on their feet ASAP.

OMG!!

 

[tbhausen]

Noooooooooo!

 

[MCgrease08]

Yeah it looks like the range will be out of commission for a while.

They are cutting a hole in the parking lot fence to let cars out, since the fire department still has the entrance blocked off.

It's been a rough couple of months for gun shop owners.

Glad to hear everyone got out ok. Hope they have an easy time getting the store put back together and up and running quickly.

Wish TV 8 just reported on this story and said it was a "tracer round" was the cause of the fire....

I'd hope that record the range area and that they can hold the idiot responsible! Really Really stupid move on the part of the shooter. This is going to cost the range big time. Repairs, lost revenue etc. All because of an idiot!

Seems there is no shortage of idiots, wish they'd stay the heck away from firearms.

 

[moosehead]

Gary and company are good people. This sucks.

 

[Bollorollo]

It is a sad thing to see happen for a very nice range and firearm dealer....

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Very disappointing. I really like the range and good folks @ BGF. If it was a tracer, I hope they have some recourse for damages.

 

[sjstill]

As a former BGF employee, my heart goes out to Greg, Michelle, Gary, Janet and the entire BGF crew. Hope they get back in operation soon.

I'm trying to maintain hope that this looks worse than it actually is. After all the crazy they waded through to get this range open, I'd hate to think that one idiot doing something stupid could end it all. If there were something we could do to help, all they have to do is put out the call and they would have more help than they could use. However, I know the legalities involved make that difficult. Even if its just clean up, if there's a way we could help I hope they let us know.

IFD said they believe a “tracer bullet” may have caused the fire.

Let's not just on the tracer round bandwagon just yet, it maybe a off the cuff comment by someone that doesn't know about firearms.

Not knowing what caused the fire Im not sure we can blame it on anyone just yet.
Could be an electric problem or anything.

Im glad everybody escaped safely.

This. I'd put more stock in MCgrease08's first assessment of an issue with the ventilation.
