About 10 years ago a THR member was murdered on a BLM range where he'd gone shooting alone. Police speculate that he was killed for his guns. As far as I know the murder was never solved.

When I go to the range I have a concealed gun on me at all times and my wife and I make it a point that at least one of the guns that we're there to shoot that day is loaded at all times.
I shoot at National Forest Ranges that are located right far out. No rules about carrying. I go during the weekdays when there are few if any others tbere. I open carry when at the range unusually a .38 Smith or Colt. Being remote I don't want to be surprised by such a situation however unlikely it might be. An ounce of prevention is a good thing.
