I've been hearing about it for a few months on several blogs/youtube channels. Lots of opportunities to shoot firearms and suppressors from multiple manufacturers. $59 for one day, $95 for two days (ammo included in price.) Sounds fun. If I didn't have other commitments that weekend I'd probably be there.

Since they will be shooting on a range, they probably are allowing OC. I would be cautious on that one though, you never know who is going to be around and dragging out their loaded pistol to show someone else. I have seen it happen at a range more times than I care to.

That is what concerns me, one idiot in the bunch could ruin the whole thing.

I would love to go to this, but there are certainly too many accidents waiting to happen in the other 4999 participants. I'm sitting this one out.

It looks like fun and could be a bargain but I'd be concerned about all but one person there.

[schufflerbot]

All it's missing is 2 free drink tickets per paid entry!

definitely not gonna attend this, as others have stated above, i'm the only person i trust with a weapon.

But, I'm not going.

I just took that as them specifying that the package only included non-alcoholic drinks, but doesn't explicitly explain that alcohol wouldn't be available for purchase.

I don't find a TABC license for that address, so unless the food trucks had alcohol then would think not. They are idiots if they allow it there.
