Another "incident" at a gun range

[PeaShooter]

This time up north at Deer Creek Conservation Club by Gas City, on Sunday.

Indiana man apparently kills self at shooting range - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

 

[Rocket]

This is unfortunate. However, If it was a suicide nice of him to keep it personal. Kind of

 

[dmarsh8]

Hmm this is getting weird. . Copycat Or coincidence??

 

[hornadylnl]

Looking good for the proposed Carmel range, huh?

 

[1911ly]

Really really sad.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Ugh, sorry the range staff, family, friends, and range patrons had to deal with this.

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

My son and I were there Saturday. Luckily my back wasn't feeling the best and we didn't go on Sunday again as we had planned. Wouldn't have wanted to roll up on that situation with my 7yr old in tow.

I hate that people think that this is the only way out of their troubles. All they are doing is dumping the same trouble's and now their selfish act on their family,friend's and the public to deal with. I guess we will have to start going thru a mental evaluation before entering the range.. The range is there for practice, preparedness and a "stress reliever"

Maybe he really didnt want to live anymore, its a ****ty world. Suicide does not always mean you are looking for a way out. You have as much right to die as you do to live, but doing it in public = ass

Unfortunate for all concerned.

This type of thing, and damage to property is what caused Applied Ballistics in Lafayette to install state-of-the-art cameras that are trained on each individual lane.
They are motion sensitive, so if there is someone there, it is recording. If something does happen there, it WILL be caught on camera.

I hate cameras, but I do understand their position, and I support their use of them to cover their own ...es.

And that does what for whom?

And that does what for whom?

Nothing more than to document the event(s) as they unfold.

It serves as a record, for whomever it may benefit.

This is in this morning's Kokomo Tribune. I sure hope I'm wrong.

I sure hope I'm wrong.

about what?

 

[other dave]

about what?

The identity of the deceased. He's one of ours.

 

[Clay]

My deepest sympathies and thoughts go out for this mans family...
If this linked obituary is the man in regards to this thread... that is absolutely unfortunate.

I truly can't grasp my mind around the thought of it.

I also can't believe we've had 2 of these at Indiana shooting ranges within a matter of one week. Makes me wonder if it was a copy-cat or coincidence.

Very sad, either way.

 

[MadMan66]

I thought it was strange that this guy was a member of the range that this took place at. Sad to hear this happened, again. I'm surprised that any pro-2A person would choose to carry something like this out in a public fashion. If it is the man from that link, I'm also sorry to hear we lost one of our own.

 

[Hookeye]

Kevin was a good guy and will be missed by many.
I am glad we had a chat like the old times at work last meeting and will always remember his booming voice and huge smile.
May he now rest easy.
Dunno if the OP story is about him or not, doesn't matter.

 

[LeftEyeBill]

I won't be judge to the man for taking his own life, whether it's the man in the obituary or not, that's between him and his beliefs. But, I will admit that I am self centered enough to be "Angry" at him for doing this act at a place I go for enjoyment and relaxation. Not to mention the long term implications and effects on the shooting club I belong to, and the public view of the sport I enjoy. My best thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the man, but I wish he would have chosen not to end his life at a place I go, and many of my friends and good people go to enjoy and enhance their lives.
