On the weekend I was in Wild West and overheard that no single shooters are permitted. Is this true? Why?

pandering to paranoia produces pointless prosecutions of people
probably because alot of rental ranges do this so people dont rent a gun then commit suicide...
I add nothing to these boards.... infact, I detract from thier quality!!!
And don't you forget it!!!
Because single shooters make us married guys jealous, with all their extra ammo budget.
Also known as "Dewey Cox" on other forums.
The Wild West policy is the same as the rest of us commercial facilities:
The policy is... no single unlicensed shooters.
If you have a license, you can just go get your own gun.... we couldn't stop you....
But since all of the Alberta ranges instituted this policy, our issues with mental illness has dropped.

That's exactly the reason. It also has the side-benefit of promoting the sport when you get groups of two or more showing up, win/win. I guess the theory is that very few people will do themselves in when accompanied by a friend. Usually though, the rules state something to the effect of "No unaccompanied unlicensed shooters" considering that a licensed shooter would probably have their own firearm and would not have to go to a range for such a purpose. They've been vetted so don't require nearly as much in the way of supervision. Having been at a range myself when a 'rental suicide' happened I can't imagine how unnecessarily traumatizing it would be on the staff and other patrons (I was within 30' or so but didn't see anything aside from the rapid staff response due to being in the retail area).
No single UNLICENSED shooters***
