HOOVER, Ala. — Alabama Republicans plan to hold 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 guns 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 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney to easily carry Alabama.

Just don't go to Hoover Tactical expecting to get a good deal on a firearm or to wear your concealed carry in the store. Neither is going to happen. Some of their other goods are priced ok, though. It's marketed for wealthy folks looking for something "tactical" not your average Joe. The range is for members; you can't just show up and shoot most days. I still go there when I pass through; it's pretty good for window shopping.

Election night at the range...not a bad idea.
For Every point Obama gains on Romney, put a round through the Obama target.
For every point Romney gains on Obama, put another round through the Obama target.
Oh hell, just empty your mag into the Obama target.
Reload.
Repeat.

I think I'd rather go to a party where I can plastered if BO wins. OTOH, going to a Dem party wouldn't be too bad either. You might be able to take home an earnest young thing and "console" her if Mitt wins (assuming you can avoid the urge to fist pump and yell YES! when the results are announced). ;D

Never been there. It makes sense, though.. I haven't found ANYPLACE in AL that has good prices on firearms. Only one good gunsmith so far..
