Proposed shooting range with bar faces opposition from local residents | Fox News
While I'm decidedly pro-gun, pro-business and pro-alcohol this may well not be a great idea.
I know there might be a bottle or two in the campground at some cowboy events or other organized, multi-day shoots but those are short term associations. Putting a bar at the range makes it kind of a hang out and affords just a bit too much comfort between the booze and the guns. The most dangerous part of gun handling is getting too comfortable and doing something stupid. This setup might might not cause any stupid but it sure would create a breeding ground for it. I don't think you'd find me being a member there.
The supporters of the gun range hope to provide a place for local police officers to train, create job opportunities for veterans, establish a place for the community to learn best shooting practices-- all while making a generous contribution to the local economy.
The bar attached to the range will only be available to top-tier members, according to backers, and if they drink, they cannot shoot.
