Derrick Hunter sues Maryland Small Arms Range over 'Ladies' Day" promotion

A Maryland man has filed a lawsuit against an area gun range claiming "reverse sexism."

Derrick Hunter says he had to pay to fire off a few rounds at the Maryland Small Arms Range in Upper Marlboro one Monday last year. But because it was "Ladies' Day," women there did not.

"Just because I'm a man doesn't mean I should have to pay more," Hunter said.

Hunter filed a lawsuit for $200,000 with his attorney, Jimmy Bell. Hunter is a special police officer and came to the range to practice shooting.

What a douchebag. No wonder our country is going to hell in a handbasket. Look at our citizens. Our politicians are only a part of the problem.

Don't they have their own range? Or they aren't that special?

Hunter needs a good dose of public humiliation to set him straight! The whole notion of a Ladies Nite is a business promotion. Men pay and their ladies don't. It's a way for a small business to drum up business on an otherwise slow day. He is a douchebag!

I'm so tired of the frivilous lawsuits that are filed!
This is one of those!
This case should have never even made it to the court docket!

Special police officer says it all. He's a mall cop with a gun. A lot of gun ranges run this promotion to get more women into shooting. They usually do it 1 day a month.

For real 11:49! The whiner's got nothing better to do but harass a small business attempting to drum up more business.

Gosh, how stupid of this gun range to charge patrons different prices for the same services based solely on the patrons' sex. I'm surprised the attorney didn't file a class action against these fools who have probably charged scores or hundreds of hard-working men more than the "little women" (in the range's 1950's mindset) for the same thing during this recurring promotion.

Hidebound marketing schemes like this set the women's equal rights movement back 100 years. Can you imagine the conniption women would have if the range charged women more than men on a "Men's Night?"

During the range's Ladies' Night promotion, millionaire women such as Nancy Pelosi or Sarah Palin would have been able to shoot for free, while unemployed Iraq or Afghanhistan war combat vets would have been required to pay to shoot. This business deserves to be sued for its stupidity alone, and before they employ a Heterosexuals' Night, allowin only heterosexuals to shoot for free.
