Double tapping, rapid fire, and open or concealed carry at an indoor range are both safety and insurance issues. The premiums to insure an indoor range are extremely high.
Range owners and insurance carriers fear that AD that leads to serious injury or death. There are stupid people out there. Remember that idiot ATF agent who was the only one "expert" enough in his classroom to handle his Glock 40 S&W? Shot himself right in the foot and with children around. Remember that idiot female Las Vegas police officer who almost shot a handcuffed suspect? Things like this can happen anytime.
The owners that allow open or concealed carry in indoor ranges are taking a big risk and are subjecting themselves to some big lawsuits if something bad happens.
While I believe in the right to open or conceal carry anywhere the law allows, I can understand the owners' side of it. I have never been to the two ranges mentioned above, so I am not defending them on a personal level.

yes, I think that's the case with all the indoor ranges. It's a safety issue and I don't really blame them considering some of the idiots out there.
Outdoors only for real practice!
