Anybody have truly strange range stories?
Here's mine.
I bought my first .45 at Anthony Arms in Pompano Beach, Florida. Got my CCL training there as well.
My daughter wanted to shoot, so I brought her along with me a few times. She wasn't ready to shoot the .45, so we rented a .38 for her.
We did this maybe 3 times. Then, a little after Christmas we went in again.
We were told that I could shoot, and she could, of course, shoot my gun, but we couldn't rent a gun for her. My daughter, bulldog that she is, wouldn't stop pestering the kid at the counter until he told her why. When we found out, I realized why he was reluctant.
It seems that, the week before, somebody had come in and rented a gun and committed suicide right there at the range.
My daughter sort of gulped and we decided to just go home that day.
I went a few times after that, then had to sell my gun. When I was shopping for my new USP45, I could not reach them. It appears they have closed, and I suspect this event had something to do with it.
