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.
A new sub division is being built about 100 yards from the club and some home owners in the area off C.H. James Parkway and Elliot Road think having a gun range and alcohol in the same location is a bad idea.
"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.
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."

Hummmm...... I can think of so many things that can go wrong here.....
ReplyDeleteMurphy's law applies here me thinks!
You have to present your ID for a drink and then you are flagged for the rest of the day.
DeleteYeah, I read about how they would handle the issue of drinking (after folks are done shooting). No problem I suppose, after all I'll go and get some range time in, bring em' home, clean em', put em' away..... then my shooting buddies and me will crack open the cold ones, and start telling lies.... (I mean telling stories where the truth my get stretched a bit).... ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy mother said white lies were permissible.:)
