Alabama GOP Plans Election Night Party at Gun Range

HOOVER, Alabama --
Alabama Republicans are holding their election night party at a gun range, where participants will be able to shoot a few rounds as returns come in.

The state Republican Party is inviting supporters to the 52,000-square-foot Hoover Tactical Firearms for a "victory party" Tuesday night.

The suburban Birmingham business sells firearms, and it has ranges where people can shoot their own guns or firearms that are available for rent.

A party announcement says the shooting ranges will be available for two hours during the election event. There will also be a band and an appearance by Miss Alabama.

Loaded guns will be allowed only on the firing range, and a party spokeswoman says drinking won't be allowed while people are shooting.

Republicans are expecting Mitt Romney to easily carry Alabama.

that they will get into a drunken, armed brawl & de-select each other from the gene pool? (if you take my meaning.)

I expect that eventually there will be an open insurrection by fascists in this country. And I don't care if people don't like the "f" word, that's what they are.

I'd be willing to bet that the papers they'd be using for 'target practice' will have a certain someones pic on it. If someone were to observe that and report it, couldn't they be arrested?

Poor poor Alabama, and the other Red States. The majority of voters there settle for the dregs from their republican leaders, and have the lowest health, education, jobs, quality of life, yet they still vote republican.

Huh. People sitting in a bar aren't actually driving at the same time they are drinking either. But somehow it still causes problems. What a douche.
