Comments
This bill is against the Constitution. If you want to consume alcohol in a public space, you cannot carry a handgun, this is absurd.
So many restaurants sell alcohol and this would make those establishments off limits to CCL even if they do not drink alcohol. In turn hurts business and segregates people. I guess open carry is still ok.
