He writes it and makes it sound like there are so many suicides at the gun range that it's a common occurrence. Seems unrealistic to me.

Confessions of a Gun Range Worker
I saw suicides mopped up with kitty litter, racist paranoia—and three rampage shooters.

I've worked in the firearms industry for decades, including at a range in Orange County, California. It's inside an industrial park, in your standard warehouse type of building. People come in and say, "Oh, I never knew this place existed." Once you check in, there are two entryways and 16 lanes. The lanes are monitored by video cameras, and there are also large double-paned windows, which, it turns out, are not made of bulletproof glass.
I later worked as a contractor at ranges all over the region. I've seen a lot. I've witnessed multiple suicides. Three rampage shooters practiced at the Orange County range. The general vibe at the ranges has gotten much more extreme and paranoid. I don't think this is unique to where I worked. The gun industry is really changing for the worse.
Gun ranges often have policies that require anyone who rents a gun to be accompanied by a friend. It's supposed to be a way to prevent suicides, but it doesn't always work very well. Eventually the range started paying a service to come pick up the bodies and scrub everything. But before that happened, Christ, what was it? Bleach and kitty litter. I remember one time I had come in for a shift change and there was a pool of blood. We didn't have any bleach but we did have some kitty litter. I remember using that to soak up the blood. And because we didn't have the bleach, some of my members were kind enough to go across the street to the grocery store and buy some. In hindsight, we had no protocols, we had no protective suits. I could have exposed myself to blood-borne pathogens.
