Suicides come in many flavors and more people die in the hospital from malpractice than shooting ranges from any reason.
Are you saying we should arm patients?

I have dealt with many, many suicides over the years. Firearms, hanging, CO and OD just to name a few. I actually once had a guy that rammed a circular saw into his neck. Many years ago there was a guy that killed himself in the range at what is now Freedom firearms. Every time I shoot that lane I think about what pushed him over the edge.
The bottom line for me is I am OK with people killing themselves as long as they don't take any unwilling bystanders with them.
Wow. Just another reason to add to the list of why I thoroughly dislike going to the range. In just a short time I have lived in the Carmel area, there has been multiple negligent discharges and now a suicide all at this ONE location.
My thoughts are entirely with the people who had to witness this. What a terrible thing to see. Extra condolences to the RSO. This will needlessly stay with her for a very long time.
I feel like this is a result of being the wal-mart of gun ranges.Yeah, they sure seem to get their share of incidents, don't they? Sad.
Not always is it a temporary problem as in cancer etc. Not condoning it or condemning it, just sometimes there is no hope for a medical disease & the suffering that comes with it.Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Maybe ranges should have "Suicide Discount Day" through the week...
To be fair Point Blank does make people watch a video. Maybe they should have a separate video for those contemplating suicide? Gun safety should still be observed by those using a gun to kill them selves.Or maybe...just maybe, physician assisted suicide should be made legal. While only a few distraught individuals might look into this and have their life saved with counseling, it would just take a few to make it worthwhile, as well as benefiting those with terminal illnesses and others with well thought out reasons wishing to ease the physical, mental and financial suffering our current laws demand.
I wonder if it was planned, or an impulse reaction to their customer service.
So what you are saying if a business's customer service did their job they are getting paid for correctly.
People would not have as many problem and thing like this would not happen.
