cultural thing too
i knew an asian lady was terminal with cancer put her affairs in order and even tried to help pick new wife for hubby.She brought her single friends over to meet hm cook dinner for him whole bit. made sense to her and her single asian friends . other folks were a lil freaked out.part of the problem is we have laws against it based on cultural/religious mores.

Only one guy I know ever committed suicide. A friend of mine. Security Guard at the high school I went to. His wife cheated on him, and it broke his heart.
He got drunk every night for a couple weeks before he did it. We talked about it, he just got obsessed. He talked about the fact they didn't have any kids, and that was good. I didn't know what he meant by that (or maybe I did, and just didn't think it was my place to interfere). Now I wish I had.
He went on a hunting trip in northeast Missouri, and while he was out there with his cousin, he took his .30-30 to his mouth.
I went to the funeral, and they tried to fix him up, but it didn't really look right.
People that kill themselves because of terminal cancer or because of some other reason (maybe just old, and in pain), I understand. But finances, the actions of other people, a spouse, significant other, or children doing something bad, doesn't make since. No matter how deep you fall, as long as you have life ahead of you, suicide is a waste.
As far as the cultural thing, most Asian cultures have rediculous suicide rates (look at Japan, for instance). Some reasons are good, but honour is no reason, nor is depression.

I can understand a little why some people take their own life like health issues but I don't understand why its done at a range. I don't know if in their frame of mind that they're thinking of the aftermath this causes or if they just don't care at all.
About six years ago one of my ex-bro in-law shot himself with a WWII Moisin-Nagant rifle after his soon to be ex-wife took the kids . Losing the kids was the last straw. He was a heck of a nice guy. The last time I spoke to him he never let on what he was going through.

mosin?I'd imagine it's rather difficult to kill one's self with a mosin nagant, what with barrel length and all. Still, I suppose when there's a will, there's a way.

It may seem a tad irreverent but I wonder if they turn in a direction so that the gun is pointing downrange and not putting other folks at risk?
The way this range is set up he most likely would not point down range because he would have to face the bullet proof glass that looks out to the entire store where there are people looking at guns and chatting. I think it would be harder to do with people in sight and possibly watching others shooting at targets. Out of sight , out of mind I guess.

Silverlance,
I thought the same as you did regarding the Moisin-Nagant being used. When my son told me what happened since he lived about 5-10 minutes away with his mother (my-ex)at the time I was surprised too.
He didn't own anything resembling a handgun except a .177 BB/Co2 type. In fact it was the only firearm found on the premises. The rest of the evidence was consistent with a rifle.
The last conversation we had was fairly normal IMO. He never hinted at what was going to happen.
