I feel like I wouldn’t want to invest in a business with such limited income streams that doesn’t make full use of the space. Maybe a better business plan would be: Explosives Manufacturing - Bar - Preschool ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > A Danish idiot burned a Quran in Sweden, so Turkey and Pakistan are outraged and are protesting against Sweden. So they burned Swiss and American flags. I guess it kind of makes sense if you believe that the United States is “The Great Satan” and is thus coorrdinating any attack against Islam. That covers it for the protestors abusing the American flag; I’ve no idea why they dragged the Swiss flag into it other than the protestors must be the Turkish and Pakistani cousins, so to speak, of the moronic Americans who think the Liberian flag is the American flag or the flag of the country of Georgia is the flag of the American state of Georgia. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > I fully suspect that any shooting range/bar that relies on "a breathalyzer to be used on “suspicious individuals.” " is going to wind up with someone dead. It probably won’t even take that long. That’s not fair! You’re not telling the whole story!!! Your cherry-picking of facts is disgusting and shows your clear bias. They also plan to stamp someone’s hand if they order a drink, and anyone with that stamp can’t touch a gun. We all know that’s foolproof. There is no way to cover up or wipe off a stamp. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > protesting against Sweden. So they burned Swiss and American flags. Eh, they’ll tell you Sweden and Switzerland (and Australia and Austria, Niger and Nigeria, Congo and Congo, and the various Guineas) are the ones who need to hold a convention to straighten this out. The American-flag-burning is just a standard part of the event no matter what. ---

[Says here](https://www.timesnownews.com/videos/viral-videos/pakistan-protest-quran-burning-in-sweden-sets-fire-to-swiss-flag-of-switzerland-video-97374943) that protestors mistook the Swiss flag (red cross on white ground) for the Swedish one, but I suspect they actually confused it with the Danish one (different-shaped white cross on red ground). The Swedish flag has the same cross style, but in yellow on blue. It was a leader of a Danish far-right political party, who also holds Swedish citizenship, who burned the Qur’an, [which he apparently makes rather a habit of doing.](https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/why-is-the-swedish-flag-being-burned-in-some-parts-of-the-world/z7wd8qhqa) ---

There’s a thing called [Las Hachas](https://lashachas.com/) nearby where you can rent axes and throw them at targets. We stopped there one evening and people were drinking!
