I think I see your concern.  I think Military should be tagged as Richard
suggested, and the civilian ranges, including police should still be
sport:shooting both per the wiki.
Police use public ranges sometiems (or are open to public use) and if not
they are reasonable contained and controlled to police only access anyhow.
Would you be concerned about highway:raceway not conveying the danger of the
area?  You could be killed wandering around the wrong parts of either one.
No need to over think things, and you can't eliminate the need for common
sense with better tagging.
