Shooting And Drinking???

[Irving]

The combination of guns and books isn't prohibited by law.

And as you already pointed out yourself, the two aren't happening together; so it is a non-issue. This was made into much bigger of a deal than it should have been. If tricky wording in an advertisement is such a bad idea, then we could have the same argument over 95% of every advertisement ever produced.

The last time me and Jack D. went out together, my Model 19 got drunk and put a hole in the passenger door of my van. Luckily, it was loaded with .38 semi-wadcutter target loads and didn't go all the way through. Left a big ol' welt on the outer door skin, looked distinctly like a .38 semi-wadcutter too. Had to get the van to a body man rather quickly, before Dad saw it. I reckon he wouldn't have been amused.

A .38 is fookin' LOUD inside a closed-up van, I'll tell ya that.....

This was a LOT of years ago, many of you weren't even born yet.

I wish I'd seen the coupon. I might have bought one.

I guess I'm in the minority in that I condone drinking and shooting.

Not unusual for me to go through a half gallon of water whilst shooting.

It all DEPENDS where I'm at !!

Oh man.. the libtards at the media took off with this one.

I think the thing that got distorted too was that it's a whiskey TASTING event. Wine/beer/liguor tastings always serve very little alcohol per serving, and usually you're supposed to spit it out. The guy who spoke from The Firing Line made a comment about "getting drunk as possible" and I seriously doubt that would be the case.

Marketing-wise, maybe not the smartest ploy, but I don't see anything wrong with the event.

[Byte Stryke]

OH EM GEE! You drove a Car and then went out and got Hammered?


yeah, no problem here.
seriously, fear mongering in effect.

Sounds like alot of handwringing and to do about little. Surely a mark against gun enthusiasts by those who are not. Most anything is a mark against gun enthusiasts by those who are not.

I think A-lcohol
T-obacco
F-irearms
should be the name of a convenience store, not meddlesome out of control federal beauracracy.

If any one here would like to pay me $75 I will let you shoot some of my guns and afterwards drink some of my whiskey.

I have copious amounts of each but limits may be applied.

I know this won't be seen as politicaly correct, but you guys know I don't care about that. When I go to visit my buddies in Oklahoma, we always go to my buddies range at his house and drink beer and shoot.(Lots Of Beer) However, we don't advertise it. I don't see a thing wrong with what these guys are doing, at all. I just know the left winged media and freakazouds will run with it. If they didn't have something to bitch about, they would make up something anyway. That's my take.
