This bill creates new legal protections for shooting ranges by stating that anyone who enters a shooting range automatically accepts the risks that come with the activity, including noise, stray projectiles, equipment malfunctions (unless the range owns the equipment), and natural hazards like terrain and weather conditions. This shields shooting ranges from lawsuits by visitors who are injured by these "obvious and inherent" risks, even if the range operator was negligent.
