OKC Gun Range That Serves Alcohol To Open This Friday [View all]

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.
