Man wants to open a bar in his gun range

Generally speaking, the combination of alcohol and weapons sounds like a bad one. Jeff Swanson of Oklahoma City doesn’t see it that way, however. KFOR NewsChannel 4 reports that the entrepreneur, who is in the process of building an “upscale” gun range in OKC, wants his establishment to offer its patrons a drink after they’re finished shooting.

KOKH FOX 25 News reports that Mr. Swanson will have customers scan their driver’s license before they partake in either firing guns or drinking alcohol. Mr. Swanson told KOKH, "Once your order a drink your driver's license is scanned and you are red-flagged and you're not allowed into any of the shooting facilities either as a spectator and certainly not as a shooter for the remainder of the day.” What if someone has a drink bought for them? Swanson says they’ll be training the range’s staff in field sobriety and will use cameras to monitor customers.

What could possibly go wrong?

When I used to shoot regularly with a group, we always had plenty of alcohol on hand. We had rules though, similar to that described in the club. Once you start drinking, you're done shooting. Same rules applied to safety violations. Unsafe firearm handling would get you the opportunity to start your drinking earlier than you intended.

Never had any problem. Everyone understood the rules and agreed with them.
