NE Bull:
Any members have first hand accounts? I hope this business doesn't become Lincoln's Bullet Hole. :(

News says self inflicted.
Dang, bad press for this business in the last week: http://journalstar.com/news/local/man-goes-to-prison-for-possessing-gun/article_d203b757-7216-5093-9065-72e622fec285.html

WOW! I guess I've never rented a gun, but I would think there would be a request for good guy card? Or fill out and ATF form? (Don't get me wrong, I'm not for any owner restrictions- Just wondering what's out there to protect the FFL/ range owner from liability. ??

Well it's been a few years, but when I rented from the Bullet Hole you had to have ID that matched a permit to purchase or concealed carry. You also had to use their ammo.
NE Bull:
--- Quote ---Q: Do I need to own a handgun or long gun to shoot on the gun range?A: No. At BigShots we have a wide variety of rental guns. As long as you are permitted by law to possess a firearm and are at least 18 (long gun) or 21 (handgun) we may be able to rent you a firearm. It is preferred that renters have either a Concealed Handgun permit or Firearms Purchase Permit, exceptions may be made. You must be 21 or older to purchase pistol ammo and 18 or older to purchase long gun ammo

I wonder how these folks got past that, and who would go to all the trouble to get a permit to inflict upon themselves? (If indeed that's what happened here) I just don't get it. ( I've been in a dark place in my past- This is not a scenario that ever crossed my mind. )
As someone else commented- I feel for any new shooter/ kid that may have also been there, having to witness this. :(
