Drive Through Firing Range
To allow people to keep their hand in on the road.

This would be a range for people who carry guns in their car and who want to practise shooting without the inconvenience for getting out of the cars.

They would stop at an armoured booth and buy any ammunition they need and specify the type of targets they want. Then they would drive through the range and shoot at whatever takes their fancy. As they leave the range they are handed a score card from another armoured booth and offered ammunition to replace whatever they used previously - therefore keeping them safe from attack.

Targets could include: people visiting fast food restaurants, people visiting polling booths and people attending gun control rallies.

       I just love it when the irony shields are down for a few hours. Cool stuff like this croissant-earner gets through.   

       I can see the owners of Lexus LX470s going batshit with heat-seeking, laser-guided, 6,000 round/min roof-mounted weaponry to ensure they don't get small critter's guts splashed on the Pearl White paint job. Kill 'em at the 1,000 yard perimeter.

       Just don't forget the Hearing Protection. 'Boom' go the guns in enclosed spaces in movies and then the actors whisper to one another - laughable.

       thumbwax: Good point.   

       Hearing protection could be sold or hired at the first armoured booth. Just in case people take them off on the range, or opt out, there would probably need to be a big, clear sign that says "You are leaving the firing range now" at the second armoured booth.

       You could recreate targets from famous films. I can imagine Easy Rider being a popular one.

       mad, totaly mad... still I cant resist the urge to give it a plus vote...

       You should open a chain of them, I will open a glass repair shop next to it. We could make a fortune off of it.   

       UnaBubba ---- it should just have one bang. They still use muskets. But great joke anyway.   

       You could have one part that looks like a trafic jam with targets in each (empty) car and you shoot the ones that honk there horn.

       Even in the days of single-shot firearms, a well-armed individual could still shoot pretty quickly. Blackbeard the Pirate (Edward Teach) is said to have carried eight pistols on his belt when going into battle. No doubt after barrel he'd have to retrieve them from the deck.
