Let’s approve a shooting range with on-site alcohol sales, because nothing goes better with [del]beer[/del] vodka than a 9 mm.
*Owner Ron Perkinson told commissioners he plans to turn a vacant building near Interstate 95 into an upscale restaurant with an indoor shooting range, but he said alcohol sales were necessary to keep the eatery profitable, reported The Daytona Beach News-Journal.
City commissioners expressed concern about allowing alcohol and guns on the same property, but in the end, only one commissioner voted against the proposal.*
But all customers will be required to sign an affidavit stating they are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol before they can fire their weapons at one of 12 gun lanes.
Amazing what people think of. Asking people to determine of they are too drunk to shoot a gun, then sign a paper so stating.
I shoot at a shooting range about once a week. If I showed up at my range with alcohol on my breath, they would not allow me on the range. There’s no way I would shoot at the range in the OP or eat at the restaurant.
I dunno. Arguably, piloting an AH-64 Apache helicopter over a densely populated area, armed with a 30 mm M230 chain gun and carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods, after imbibing a few Brompton cocktails could, by some, be considered an even *better *combination than vodka and a puny 9mm.
I know of an indoor race track that’s popular with bachelor parties. They serve alcohol in the same place where they allow you to get into a go cart and race around a track at high speeds.
Obviously, these two things don’t mix. So they are careful about making sure people who get served immediately have their wristband removed making them no longer eligible to drive that day.
I see no reason why a gun range that also serves alcohol couldn’t do a similar system.
That would be a very mismatched pairing. The delicate undertones of the Margaux would be be completely overwhelmed by the .44 sonic shock. You’ll need something along the lines of a robust Kentucky Bourbon for balance. May I suggest a Jim Beam Single Barrel instead?
No, no, no. The proper bullet to serve with bourbon is .22 LR (the cartridge that has poached more deer than any other). But I agree that the Margaux needs something more subtle. Perhaps a subsonic .32?
Wouldn’t it be shocking if the restaurant cum shooting range operated for the next 50 years with nary a single untoward incident? Why, it would be almost as if most gun-owners were responsible adults who had no need of Nanny tut-tutting over their shoulder, “You’ll have your eye out with that!”
