Firearms description:
That's all the bad news. The good news is that he's expected to recover. The better news is that folks over at OKShooters are working on raising money to replace his guns. See Replacing the old war vets toys.. if you're interested.
And be careful at the range.

Oh...what a sad story...Those SOBs should be jailed for the rest of their lives for hitting an old man.

Here in the Charleston area of SC there is an outdoor gun range at the Francis Marion National Forest. It is just an open range with no direct supervision and, as you would expect, it is quite a bit "into the forest". I went there once with two other friends and have never gone back. I read a story like the one that headlines this thread and all it does is remind me of that extremely vulnerable feeling I felt out in the middle of nowhere with my firearms as I concentrate on the targets down range. Situational awareness is just blasting in front of my eyes as I envision some BG coming up to me, putting a bullet in my head and taking off with my firearms without a hint of a problem. I did not read the entire story surrounding this thread but I would guess that the gentleman was alone at an outdoor range--hey guys situational awareness is important even when you have your firearm right out in front of you.
Hope they resist when captured...Too the extend, we don't need a trial!
Wow, glad the ol' guy will recover. I hope he recovers fully.
I've always assumed that we were half-way safe at the outdoor range. I see know how gun shots of 'evil' will go unnoticed at such a place. Kelcarry has a great point about situation awarness at all times!

This is sad and disgusting. I posted this to r/guns on Reddit so they can read about it to. This is a scary thought. Though I never go to an open range like this alone, but I can't help but think this old guy has done this more than 100 times in his past without issue.
Hope he recovers and the SOB's resist. I belonged to a range in the woods, no longer do, when on the ranch in South Texas am always armed, as is family, anyone on property without permission has been held a gunpoint for police, if necessary have a nice backhoe.

Never go to the range alone. Never have all your guns unloaded at one time (regardless of range rules)

One more reason I do not like shooting ranges.
