So... who has lost a favorite watering hole due to new 'no guns' sign?

[hseII]

Yes - the sign is not the law... Now if they notice and ask you to leave, you must do so or you are trespassing...

I understand the sign rules; I'm talking about drinking in an establishment, while carrying.

I will let others speak to the LAW, but I wouldn't do it... It would be a bad day if you had to defend yourself and then speak to the police with alcohol on your breath.

Next thing you know ! They won't let you drink and drive!! Damn laws

 

[bearpugh]

You sure can. Go to GACarry.org and look at the case that happened in Paulding. cliffs notes version ~~> Two guys were in a bar, one dude had a piece. They got into a fight and both were drinking. Dude with the piece was "arrested for having a weapon on his person, while schwasted." Went to court, GAcarry.org was there, helped with representation and got the whole thrown out. Done. Just ere on the side of caution. Errr body gets liquid courage when dey kiss da bottle

Which is why I understand a Bar's no gun sign.

I don't necessarily agree with it, but I do understand.

Thank You for Sharing.

I haven't been to a bar in years, cause I don't drink and drive. I drink adult beverages at home.

Might be a worse day if you need to defend your life and just have your fists and wit.

When most all responsible gun owners agree that it is not prudent to carry while drinking, I don't understand while someone would punish them selves by removing something they like from their life.

Not like it was some store or food joint where it would be an inconvenience to disarm and rearm.

I understand the sentiment most if the time and have told buisness owners that I would not be back because if this policy, but I don't have a problem with a bar taking this postion.
I've worked bars before and I know that some, usually good people turn into an "instant asshole-just add alcohol"

The bar owner would assume a large liability if he allowed guns in the bar.

Do they also assume this liability should something happen when they disarmed me with that sign?

One of these days that question will come to roost.
