That's insane.

[Erik88]

Idiots. Why risk the liability?

[gjohnsoniv]

Hmm. That seems like an accident waiting to happen.

"Powder Springs" appropriate name.

If they add a smoke shop the BATF would have one-stop shopping.

ATF trifecta right there.

I think it's a great idea. Maybe natural selection will rid us of a few morons.

[vontar]

I wonder who had this bright idea.

[Guest CCI]

Dumb idea! Real dumb!

[Guest Grout]

And they said the "guns in bars" law would lead to drunken shootings.The report states that once you check into the lounge access back into the range is prohibited.

[Guest ThePunisher]

They jeopardize their CCW permits driving under the influence with their guns in the vehicle.

There is a place just like that in WI.

Beats me. Booze and cars are just as dangerous.

exactly Blake. People go out to eat and have drinks, some have carry permits and have guns in their cars. I have not read too many stories of anyone going bat#### crazy and shooting everyone.

I have a house full of guns and often have a adult beverage or fifteen, have not gone on a shooting spree just yet.

Have you ever seen a car dealership/bar?

No, but it may make the ordeal a bit more tolerable?

[56FordGuy]

There are cars outside every bar.

+1 for personal responsibility!

No, but I'll be damned if you haven't hit on the greatest business model of the 21st century!!!!!!!!

Look at lodges or country clubs

They serve libations and you can shoot there..

I think to many people have this " Hey ..watch this ..backyard drinking and shotgun image " ..

[BigK]

I've had a beer or 2 too many at a cookout and have managed not to shoot anyone yet. I've thought about shooting my idiot brother-in-law a couple of times, but ran out of beer before I ran out of patience.

but ran out of beer before I ran out of patience.

How is that possible? They are one in the same.
