The Scottish article relates to an incident that occurred in Aberdeen in 2006, not the one that occurred in Surrey today,

A Surrey Police spokesman said the man who died was a visitor or customer, not the store owner
Interestingly gun shops in the Orlando area on Florida have now banned single males from hiring weapons after a spate of suicides on ranges. Apparently they don't want to make a mess a home so take it to the range instead. For those who haven't been, quite a few gun shops in that area have a range out the back that you can hire and fire at.

it's the same in Massachussets, they wouldn't hire me any pistols to shoot on the range as I was on my own and not carrying my own weapon... :(

Sucked, I can see why, but they wouldn't even have someone stand next to me on the range making sure I didn't do anything stupid, I just wanted to shoot!... :(
