    Ya see guns are not the problem, lack of truck parking is. If there were just a few more spaces this could of all been avoided.:rolleyes:

    He was only going to be charged with assault.. 5-10 years depending on final charges.

    Most ranges don't allow a solo person to rent & shoot alone just because of this.

    That was kinda my thoughts. Assault with a deadly weapon, in the end, he wouldnt have gotten more than a year or two & probably could have spent that at a local prison & been close to home, rather than being sent to a state facility. Then probably 5 years probation & not able to work in a position that requires a firearm.

    Even if he had gotten 5 years, he'd probably been out in 16 months or so.

    On the other hand, if he couldn't deal with the thought of shooting someone......... well thats a personal issue. But sheesh.......... Killing yourself? Maybe he just wasnt mentally stable enough to deal with the thought of shooting someone & the whole legal process.

    Or maybe was being mentally unstable the reason he shot the truckdriver.
    Which would account for some off the actions reported about the events leading up to the shooting.

    TA will get sued. But it is the security company that is going to take the big hit.
