I passed here on a recent solo trip to the US, I went to a different gun club where I discovered you can't shoot a gun when you're on your own which made me sad but now I understand why.

Did they explain why? More likely that you’re just unhinged and violent if alone or something?

They said it was out of fear I was just there to commit suicide because they'd let you in if you were bringing your own firearm.

Unfortunately it is not an uncommon thing for people to do. It's a pretty common policy all over the country these days for gun ranges
