Method CBT at a shooting range

[marysienka]

is it possible to cbt at a shooting range? owning a gun in my country is nearly impossible and the only way to get one is by renting one at a shooting range but i also dont want to traumatise people, what do you think?

You would definitely traumatize people.

You would definitely traumatize people.

Yeah, especially the staff that has to take care of the situation after that and responsibility for what you did on their watch

I've considered this too but I'm not going to do it. There's the trauma aspect but if you turn a gun on yourself you could also hit someone standing behind you and seriously injure them too. They have spotters to stop people doing dangerous things like turning a gun on themselves or someone else. You very likely wouldn't even get set up before they took if from you. Morally and practically not a good idea.

I'm not sure about where you live, but in my experiences shooting ranges usually to background checks to make sure you haven't been to any psych hopsitals lately or a mental health history, and then you generally need a shooting range permit to actually use one. Not sure if it's the same in your country, or but I'd assume it'd be stricter than that where you are. Not to mention like @VoidBlessed said, a lot of them have spotters to prevent you from doing something like that, but the one I was always dragged to didn't have those.

You would vegetable fodder, to risky.
Some poor schmuck would have to clean up the mess you made also, what if that person had kids ?
There is also shot placement to think about.
Familiarity with the weapon you use and collateral damage from people you might maim, injure or kill.
Cowboy up, and figure out another way.
