Retired FBI Profiler Opens Bullets and Beer Bar

Greg Vecchi stands in front of his Deadwood business.

A retired FBI hostage negotiator has opened a multi-tiered gun business that offers, among other things, a bar called Bullets and Beer. It’s housed in a large one-story stucco building on Deadwood’s Lee Street. Contrary to what the business name suggests, those who have consumed beer can’t use real bullets, but they can zap zombies, gunfighters, and mobsters with laser guns. Proprietor Greg Vecchi tells SDPB’s Victoria Wicks that skills he learned as a profiler help him run his business.
