Probably due to liability issues. They figure it's not worth the hassle.

Aren't governments/municipalities exempt from torts except cases of negligence and vehicle incidents?

I first misread this as "exempt except for motor vehicle ..." which is generally true for schools, but Texas Tort Claims act, and case law, is a little more complicated than that regarding cities. And, there's still the expense of litigation, if some person gave proper notice under the Tort Claims act, filed suit claiming some event occurring on a range was foreseeable, because this occurred x times in 2010 ....... but not every thing a person has their mind set to do is preventable, no matter how rarely the incident occurs. And, some people like to sue cities, believing they have "deep pockets" without realizing what a pain it is to get council's approval on settlement details etc etc etc.
I ain't a lawyer person.

For many years, back in the 1970s/1980s, the city Police range was the only one I knew about or used. They wouldn't hire "handicapped people" but after donating some guns, and buying Glocks for officers who didn't want Dept. issued revolvers ... I made some friends, and "happened to be" in their car when they went.

in/Near Harris/Fort Bend county is Barker Reservoir include the American Shooting Range, but I ABSOLUTELY refuse to go to USACE properties or give them money.
