As I recall, adjusted for the number of people who own guns in America compared to cars, you're about 20 times more likely to die in a car accident driving to the range than by an accidental discharge of a firearm at the range. If you don't bump the rate up to account for the fact that not everyone owns a firearm, it's even rarer.

I wasn't able to find any statistics on what percentage of that involves someone under the influence of alcohol as the shooter, but I'm guessing it's a healthy chunk.
