Another round of shots, good sir!
Florida Gun Range To Serve Booze, Because What Could Go Wrong?Getting blasted has a whole new meaning.
Commissioners in Daytona Beach, Florida, approved a measure Wednesday that will allow the opening of a 12-lane gun range connected to a booze-filled restaurant. Commissioners were "leery" at first, because alcohol and guns don't mix, but they came around to the idea, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
They were reportedly swayed by the business' strict rules against shooting after drinking. Everyone who eats or drinks at the restaurant will have to submit to an ID scan, and if they've had alcohol, they won't be allowed to shoot at the range that day, WFTV reports. In addition, guns won't be allowed in the restaurant, though commissioners pointed out that the policy won't stop people with concealed carry licenses from entering.
Patrons who go to the gun range will also have to sign an affidavit promising they're not drunk.

It would have been really bad if they could drink and then go out to the gun range, but to be done with a "day's shooting" and retiring to the bar with a concealed weapon doesn't exactly thrill me either.

the US probably surpasses the next ten greatest Stupidity Surpluses combined.
Mind you, STUPIDITY is the measured metric, not backward, retrograde assholishness like Saudi Arabia, which remains an uncontested #1 in THAT field.
But in terms of Stupidity, we're NUMBER ONE, baby! Not even close.
If we could convert our boundless American Stupidity reserves into clean energy we'd have enough for 10,000 years and warp drive no later than Festivus 2016
Drunk w/beer and cig vs. Air Compressor
Nothing can go wrong when drunk people are involved!
