A Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and her husband want to open an indoor gun range to host wedding

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wisconsin-supreme-court-candidate-her-165944693.html


A Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and her husband are trying to open an indoor gun range that can host weddings and serve alcohol.

Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow, a conservative candidate for the state's Supreme Court and her husband Brian Dorow, purchased the former Hartland Sportsman's Club in 2021 and renamed it Delafield Oaks Range, Jezebel reported.

The couple asked the city of Delafield to turn the space into an indoor shooting range that could also double as an events space that will "host weddings, conventions, and high-end meetings," and also feature outdoor hiking trails, horseshoes, bean bag toss," alongside other similar activities, per city records.

Dorow announced her candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court in late November 2022. PBS Wisconsin reported that Dorow is one of four candidates running to take the seat of Justice Patience Roggensack, who is retiring. The state's highest court is currently made up of four conservatives and three liberals.

Additionally, the proposal includes plans to offer food, a liquor license, and outdoor holiday events like Easter egg hunts and Halloween festivities.

Plenty of lawsuits and recusals in the fine tradition of Clarence Thomas coming out of this one.

Children will have tiny assault rifles that shoot real bullets.
Brides can wear color co-ordinated weapons down the aisle.
People can be buried with their guns.

Trap shooting and bar. Lasted 15 minutes.
I hope this business suffers the same fate.

Just about every trap and skeet club around here operates like a country club. There is a bar onsite for socializing and often food available. The grounds and facilities are rented out for events like weddings and parties. Safety rules are strictly enforced and there aren't any problems. I was working a charity event at my club last October for the local children's hospital and a non-member guest decided to sneak a sip from his flask hidden in his cart while on the course. He was spotted and quickly escorted off the premises and told not to bother registering for any future events. They take it pretty seriously.
