    Agreed. This could be someone on this board for all we know.

    Thanks for the info- Where did you find it?

    This opens a whole can of worms on how such an incident could occur- What type of gun? How was it being transported?

    Very sad. My condolences to his friends and family.

    SIG... He carried a 226 if I remember correctly. The mag was out, round chambered. I'm GUESSING he was clearing it, swapping range ammo for defense ammo, and hit an artery when he ND'd. I still haven't heard where he was hit, where in the car this happened, etc.

    Also, thank you Delfuego.

    '.....honey, be back in a couple of hours!' (just a guess)

    Too sad, be careful. It can happen to anyone. Condolences to family and friends

    Funny, ......I *do* carry into all those other places. I guess I just figured the indoor gun range was more serious about not having loaded weapons of any kind coming into the facility.

    Very sad. Remember that guns are tools that can impart deadly force. Always treat them as such. (Not saying he didn't... just reminding)

    Very, very sad.

    As a clarification, Firing Line's policy has always been the same. Concealed carry is fine, we just ask that you keep it concealed. That is on the sign in front as well. Obviously a concealed weapon is likely a loaded weapon. We do not like open carry of a loaded weapon in the store. Open carry folks come in, they're shopping for a holster, out comes the loaded? pistol. Two open carry folks are in line for the range. "Hey man- what you carrying? Here, let me show you!" Out comes the loaded? pistol. In general, we trust that concealed carry folks (and Members) have training, and are more conscious of the safety issues. We have no idea where you are coming from if we don't know you, and you simply walk in with your handgun visible on your hip. So few customers actually have training..... we get swept all of the time, multiple times per day, by customers who have no muzzle consciousness. That, unfortunately, is part of the gig. We correct gently as necessary, and hope they remember. If it's not concealed, we ask that the firearm be unloaded and cased. We have observed that -many- open carry folks strap it on in the parking lot so that they can walk around the store with a gun on their hip- Why? You tell me. Employees mostly open carry in the store, but they are a known quantity to us. Some are better than others, as is always the case, but we all have the gun safety, muzzle consciousness thing beaten into our heads, or we wouldn't even be here. Most of us can really shoot too! When guns are handed to people over the counter, they are always press-checked, sometimes multiple times by those of us who are a little paranoid about it, like me. We do have expectations as to the behavior of people who enter the store, and will err on the side of customer and employee safety. Regardless, there are countless instances where someone brings a gun into the store or off the range, for one reason or another, hands it to an employee "It's not loaded". Drop the mag, rack the slide and a round pops out and onto the counter. That sound can be heard from one end of the store to the other, and is unmistakable. It is actually refreshing when someone comes in and demonstrates good gun handling. I provide all of this not as a complaint, not whining, just trying to inform.
