Comments
It is very disturbing and scary that this law was even passed. How will these establishments prevent gun carriers from consuming alcohol once they are in? Are they required to tell the managers that they are carrying one? Are they really in need of a gun while eating AND with children around?
@ Maria...
The beautiful thing about concealed weapon permit holders is they respect laws. A business owner that doesn't want concealed weapon permit holders to carry in his establishment just has to post a notice thats visibile when you enter that business. Simple as that. He wont have to worry about those law abiding citizens, just the criminals that don't care about laws in the first place, let alone his notice. Business owner gets what he wants and the concealed carry individual will find somewhere else to spend his money.
Is it still legal for me to go in a bar or rest., wearing a gun on my hip (exposed),and drink what i want ?
Certainly is...thats what I don't understand all the uproar is about this new law. You can have open carry folks prance in and drink like a fish. They could be ANYONE for all we know, but you have someone licensed to carry with a background check done carrying in a restaurant that serves the occasional beer, and doesnt drink. I would imagine people would be furious about the current law...not the new one...
The media has alot to do with it .(sorry 12 no offence int.)They don't say anything about the old law they just put the new law out there like its the only fart that ever stunk.
