Mixing beer, bourbon and … bullets
Published: November 24th, 2014
CNN interviewed the owner of Wilshire Gun, a gun store and range in Oklahoma City, features a restaurant and bar. After ordering a drink customers are barred from the range for the remainder of the day (both to shoot and to observe). Have any of you visited this range?
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Hopefully knee-jerk anti's stayed with the story long enough to hear that a shooter is not allowed on the range after ordering alcohol. It would have been nice if that tidbit had been mentioned with the first reference to the bar
This is actually not a bad business Idea as long as its not too expensive.
I'm usually hungry/thirsty after a good shooting session at the range anyway. So offering food and drinks at the same places increases their income. It seems they have their safety system down pretty good anyway, so there is no mixing of drinking and shooting.
