re: #309 Wendya

Why is that?

The people who are likely to drink while armed have been doing it all along.

When my state first passed the concealed carry laws back in ‘93, they prohibited carrying a weapon into any establishment that sold alcohol. Since every grocery store and convenience store sells booze here, that forced people to lock their guns away before they ran into the store to get a gallon of milk. The legislature finally got a clue and changed it to establishments that serve by the drink. We didn’t have shootouts in the booze aisle of the grocery stores.

I see no problem with carrying into a store that sells booze, just a place where it is consumed. That is not a subtle difference IMHO.
