OKC Gun Range That Serves Alcohol To Open This Friday

[NaturalHigh]

OKLAHOMA CITY - The newest gun range in the metro is set to open this Friday. But this place comes with a bit of controversy.

We're talking about the new Wilshire Gun Range, located on Wilshire Boulevard near Western Avenue. This place has gained national attention because it will also sell alcohol.

We recently talked with the owners and they stress once you start drinking, you won't be able to go past certain “checkpoints” in the gun range. They stress this will be a safe environment with plenty of precautions in every corner of the building.

All staff will be trained for sobriety testing. There will also be a point of sale system.

[Bad Thoughts]

1. Will Colorado gun ranges start offering pot? eom.

[KamaAina]

6. DUzy!

[madinmaryland]

23. Will that's one way to get all the gun ranges to close

Everyone will be too busy stuffing cheetoes in their face to do any shooting. Besides, it's too hard to shoot a gun with all that cheetoe gunk on your fingers.

[B Calm]

30. +1 That would make the national news!

[JaneyVee]

2. Darwin would be proud.

[Faux pas]

3. I'd say let all the gun nuts have at it

except for the problem of innocent bystanders.

[hobbit709]

4. Indoor range. Just lock the doors until the noise stops.

[Faux pas]

9. There you go

problem solved! lol

[CanonRay]

5. What could go wrong?

then later....Who could have forseen?

[ProfessorGAC]

40. Literally The First Phrase That Came To My Mind

Word for word. Beat me to it.

[get the red out]

7. Sounds like natural selection

Darwin might make sense to more Americans after this little experiment.

[samsingh]

8. what could go wrong?

[Initech]

10. File this one under "things that will not end well".

[hifiguy]

11. Hopefuly this wil cull the herd of at least

a few imbeciles.

[ileus]

12. Wonder if anyone notice the third line.

[Nye Bevan]

13. Bullets 'n' Beer?

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

[NaturalHigh]

14. That sounds like a great name for a bar.

[linuxman]

15. Who cares?

If they have a system in place to prevent people who consume alcohol on the property from in any way going near the range or firearms, then how is this any worse than a regular shooting range?



You'll excuse me for not setting my hair on fire with the rest of the posters.

[crim son]

16. You are making a whole lot of assumptions about the competence and vigilance of the staff,

not to mention the customers. Guns and alcohol are a shitty mix, period. I just hope the first person who gets shot there deserves it.

[former9thward]

22. Tens of millions of Americans drink and go hunting at the same time.

It is not the big deal you think it is.

[Crunchy Frog]

44. I can almost guarantee that they will. n/t

[NaturalHigh]

17. I'm not exactly "setting my hair on fire" either.

I just thought it would be a neat story to share. It has generated a lot of conversation around here in Oklahoma. Frankly it doesn't bother me much one way or the other.

[linuxman]

18. It is neat.

The reply was posted to your OP, but not really in response to you, so much as to the responses of the thread in general.

[Behind the Aegis]

19. As Homer says...

[NaturalHigh]

21. LOL...awesome!

[bigwillq]

20. Cool.

I hope those that are of legal age enjoy themselves.

[Adrahil]

24. The private range I belong to serves alcohol....

... but only after the range is closed for the night. I'm not sure that even with "checkpoints" this is a good idea.

[GGJohn]

25. Much ado about nothing.

I'll leave it at this.

[lpbk2713]

26. I'd guess they had to pay a dear price for insurance.

If they found any at all.

[NaturalHigh]

28. That's something I hadn't even considered.

[ZombieHorde]

27. Unlike some folks here,

I hope no one gets hurt.

[jberryhill]

29. Why do you hope some folks here will get hurt?

[ZombieHorde]

32. I said I hope no one gets hurt.

Some in this thread want the gun people to get hurt, but I do not want them to get hurt.

[iscooterliberally]

34. I agree with you. n/t

[B Calm]

31. Everybody knows alcohol makes people non violent, unlike the evil weed

that turns everybody into homicidal maniacs!

[NaturalHigh]

33. Yes, I've heard that.

It was in that documentary Reefer Madness.

[ProfessorGAC]

41. And Given The Wonderful Production Values. . .

. . .all that had to be true.

[CBGLuthier]

35. about a mile from my house. Guess I better practice ducking.

My favorite bakery is right down the road from them. Hope I don't get killed going to buy cookies. this country is fucking insane with the gun love. Oh well, less than one hundred days and i am out of the asylum.

[NaturalHigh]

37. You live in Oklahoma City?

I love OKC. I haven't been in about two years, but I'll be there for a week in November.

[CBGLuthier]

38. yep, Until December 30th. then I am moving to Mauritius.

[NaturalHigh]

39. That's going to be a bit of a culture shock.

[Brigid]

36. Combining guns and booze:

What could go wrong?

[NaturalHigh]

42. On the plus side, a webcam might do booming business.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

43. Surely, there should be a law...
