Bullets and Booze: Oklahoma Gun Range Awarded Liquor License

You'll be able to get a shot and a beer for real after an Oklahoma City gun range was granted a liquor license this week, much to the distress of some city leaders.

But it'll have to be in that order: a (gun) shot and then a beer, not the other way around.

As part of its petition to win the liquor license, the Range Cafe at Wilshire Gun Range promised that once a customer buys any alcoholic beverage, the sales register will bar him or her from the gun range itself.

"Guns and alcohol will never mix at Wilshire Gun," General Manager Jeff Swanson told NBC station KFOR of Oklahoma City after the City Council voted 6-3 to approve the controversial license Tuesday.

"Once you have a drink, your driver's license will be scanned and then red-flagged, and you'll be prohibited from entering the lanes for the rest of the day," Swanson said.

1. Their $7.58/hr employee will be right on it

"Once you have a drink, your driver's license will be scanned and then red-flagged, and you'll be prohibited from entering the lanes for the rest of the day," Swanson said.

......and that $7.58/hr employee is willing to put up with several verbally abusive assholes every day thinking one drink is no big deal.

8. True.

2. Proof that we have learned nothing.

From history... Wyatt Earp over a hundred years ago knew this was a bad idea.

3. HEY Y'ALL, WATCH THIS!!!

idiots

5. I'm sure everyone in OK knows ...

that guns only work in the lanes.

6. How did Elizabeth Warren get educated ...

in that panoply of stupid.

7. I will bet a dollar to a donut (or vice versa) that we never hear of this

place again, except in breathless references to how 'nutty' it is.

I.e., I'll bet that it's rate of alcohol-related injuries or fatalities will be no different than that associated with any other similarly-sized alcohol-serving establishment...

9. Riiiight, because there is not one guy who thinks

" No body gonna tell me what I can do , I got my rights" in Texas.

10. I object to the "non mixing" of guns and booze.

In this situation, I believe Natural Selection should run its course.

Plus its a violation of the 2nd Amendment. People in a confined area should be able to drink and shoot much as they want. Who needs gun regulations where gun nuts congregate.

11. This sounds like a law/idea we'll get visited upon us in Indiana too.

As one of my old friends used to say, "Why is it always a hick with a beer and a gun?"

[Duckhunter935]

12. Why do they put parking lots outside bars?

We all know that can't be a problem.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

13. so once you have a drink, if you still want to shoot

You'll have to just take it out to the parking lot.
