Post by Allons »

Range employee shoots another employee in chest on accident. Not alot of info but wonder if they were range officers or just sales people.

Police said an employee accidentally shot another employee in the upper-torso area during a training session.
Whatever that training session was turned into a major failure. Hope the injured employee recovers quickly.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

No joke.

Strangely enough we’re on vacation this week and drove by this range yesterday afternoon; from the outside it looks very nice.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

This is what Blue Guns are for... If you are a commercial entity doing training, you ought to buy 'fakes' of all the common models.
If it was not intentionally pointed at the other employee, then the 4 rules would have fixed this.

Hope he pulls through.

In all seriousness, I pray all concerned are as well as can be. I would hope something has been learned, but it should not have been a necessary lesson...
are those two stories related in any way??

Clearly not to me... read both links and it appeared to be different ranges and people. :confused5
