Bar/gun range?
SemperFiGuy:
FWIW......
My trap range sells beer by the can. Posts signs to the effect:
Shoot First; Drink Later.
IIRC, other area trap ranges do likewise.
So far, seems to be a non-issue. Not my game, but seems to work for others. I've heard rumors that a recently renovated trap range in Omaha is applying for a liquor (beer) license, but so far such talk is unverified.
Now....back to main topic of this thread:

FarmerRick:
I think 88 Tactical's new facility is going to have a liquor license.
NE Bull:
And I absolutely agree, it can work with responsible shooters. I'm more interested in the press that such a request would bring in the city of Lincoln. I mean the firestorm that surrounded the downtown movie theater asking for a LL!!
Gary:
I bet they are doing it, so the history of Negligent Discharges in their gun classes, don't sting so bad in the future?
If any gun shop thinks they can mix guns and alcohol, they should have both business licenses revoked!
The place was a bar before. If they wanted a bar, why dump a million dollars into a place, changing it to a gun range, only to want the bar back again?
I hope this is a bad rumor, and not a foolish idea, that is not only dangerous, but gives a bad impression of the gun community.
This idea is dumber than the NRA having a wine club.
I won't mention names, but a certain CHP instructor, teaches his classes in a bar, with liquor bottles all over the place, and a well stocked beer fridge. Has that come back to haunt him? Not yet.
There is prudent, and there is foolish.
Mixing alcohol, and guns, is never a good idea, unless you are a regulatory agency. BATFE seems to juggle it OK.

Yes it will. There are many shooting ranges throughout the U.S. that have cocktail lounges settled within. Building design, controlled access points, use of technology and software, and extreme protocol prevents members from consuming any alcohol within the facility prior to entering any shooting lane. Firearm safety and safe use of the facility is first and foremost.
