These yahoos are gonna mess it up for everyone else, and ability to carry unconcealed is gonna go by the wayside!
Same in Alaska. Not many disagree with this rule.
I don't think I've ever heard of any CCW holder getting liquored up while carrying. or if they did they obviously never used their weapon.
There are 36 or so states that now have "must issue" CCW permits. The lefties always screamed "blood in the streets" when these laws were passed, it never materialized. What makes you think that it will happen this time?
Same here in Florida, and it's a stupid law, since it puts a prior restraint on folks. I don't drink, so why shouldn't I be able to carry in bars?
Law-abiding citizens don't always remain so when they are liquored-up.
All the more reason for the good guys to carry in places that serve alcohol.
These yahoos are gonna mess it up for everyone else, and ability to carry unconcealed is gonna go by the wayside!
So the state will infringe upon their Right to open carry if they actually exercise that Right? How Orwellian.
There are no "bars" in Virginia. There are restaurants with on-premises Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licenses. The ban on concealed carry applies to any patron of any restaurant of any sort which holds an ABC license, regardless of whether that patron is drinking. I, and many other Virginians, find this act of prior restraint to be repugnant. We're going to get it repealed, sooner or later. If the folks in Washington State were as sane as we are, they'd be trying to get it repealed as well.
