I wish they had one near me
From Atlanta Georgia station
WSBTV:
Gun club to allow alcohol sales
Kristina Brown and her husband own Lakeside Guns Shop in Acworth, but they are in the process of building a $3.5 million gun range called The Governor's Club in Powder Springs.
Brown told Channel 2's Dave Huddleston the club will be state of the art and have a lounge that serves alcohol.
And of course, there are the usual gun-fearing ninnies:
"I mean, that's just stupid," Traci Hart, a mother of three young children said.
She said her neighborhood is nice and quiet and they don't want the gun range.
"We don't need drunk people running around in and out of the neighborhood," Hart said.
It is a club that has a range -- you can go shooting and then have a nice meal (and adult beverage) after.
Brown sent Huddleston a statement that said, "Customers will have to order a drink with their identification card and once the card is accepted, and flagged, they cannot be checked back into the range that day." The statement went on to say, "Georgia Law allows persons with gun permits to bring their weapon into a restaurant that serves alcohol, we are taking it even a step further."
Fortunately, clear minds acted:
The Powder Springs City Council approved the alcohol permit Monday, passing 4-1.
Like I said, I wish there was one near me. Most ranges rent guns so I could try out various configurations before buying something. Some ranges even have full-auto "machine" guns -- I would love to fire a couple hundred rounds in one of those.
