I won't shoot on a range in the same bay with a stranger. I'll wait until they're done. I don't leave my gear unattended, I don't leave my vehicle unlocked, and I am never completely unarmed, even if I just emptied the gun I was just shooting.
Exactly, I keep my head on a swivel at the range and am never unarmed or only left with an empty gun. This is just good situational awareness. I'm also very careful when approaching anyone and very watchful of anyone approaching me at a range or otherwise.

According to me, being a firearms instructor is a risky job. You never know who accidentally shoots you. Plus, you can't say NO to any trainee just by seeing his ignorance or attitude as it is your job which requires you to give lessons to your trainees.
"The Burlington Free Press reported that Lewis is subject to an order out of New York that prevents her from possessing or purchasing a firearm, court records show."
"She has a lengthy criminal record in New York City and was living at a Hundred Acre Homestead in Worcester, a Vermont-licensed therapeutic community residence, the Free Press reported."
So, apparently, they knew she was dangerous and yet a lengthy criminal record in NY just earned her a therapeutic community residence in VT instead of a jail cell in NY?
Very interesting. I suppose it pays to be prepared!
I work midnight to 9am currently. Will be moving to days in a couple of weeks and will work 1030am to 930pm
Your hours might be pretty convenient then. The indoor range I usually shoot at opens at 9AM. I've shot there during different parts of the day, and by far, when they open is the best time to shoot. When I get there at 9AM, I often shoot alone for the first half-hour or so. But as the day wears on it gets much more crowded. After 5PM is the worst time to go as I often have to wait for a lane to open up.
It's my guess that most ranges would have that kind of pattern. Earlier = emptier. If your place of employment allows you to keep firearms in your car, when you're working nights (if you're still alert when it's quitting time), you might hit the range on the way home. When you go to days, you might hit the range on the way to work if there's time.
I actually work from home! I would love to go to the range more often if I could find a place where I didn't have to pay $18 an hour
