Slippery slope, isn't this the same thought process for suing gun manufactures and gun stores for what people do with guns after they buy them? If a gun range decided to stop renting guns I can't blame them, holding individuals responsible their actions seems to be the last resort.I think crispy is approaching it from the potential liability perspective, in an abundance of caution.
What people do with their own firearms is pretty much up to them. When they rent, it poses certain collateral issues.

That is a sad situation.
There was a rental range in Salt Lake City that had multiple suicides with rental guns in the 90's and 2000's.
Why? I rent from ranges often to change up from what I normally shoot. Might as well not sell AR-15 style rifles because they've been used in shootings with multiple fatalities/casualties.
Anytime a person enters a location, where people practice medicine, prescribe drugs, etc., should be thankful they are fortunate enough to leave without incident. There isn't any way of knowing the qualifications of any individual and an accident could happen.

FIFY
Suicides come in many flavors and more people die in the hospital from malpractice than shooting ranges from any reason.
I just hope it was not a rental gun.
I really do not care what a person does to them self.
That is their own decision.
I really care about the people it affects.
Your son might need and should seek Counseling.
A church elder he knows would be a good start.
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.
