--for most purposes--South Dakota doesn't permit much bar or restaurant carry--from the list of restricted places--

1. An establishment licensed to serve alcoholic beverages on the premises if the establishment derives more than 50% of its sales from alcoholic beverages

That’s essentially the same rule as TX so I’m not seeing how that’s “not much bar or restaurant carry.” It’s auditable by the state alcoholic beverage control people. Bottom line, no worries if you’re headed out to Chili’s or Outback or Red Lobster or etc.

Apparently, borrowed from Texas State law.

My take: Another idiotic, unConstitutional restriction on our God-given right to carry. Can Mr Patterson (running for Lt Gov here, and the author of the original concealed-carry law here in Texas) please tell me the difference between carrying in an establishment that makes only 50% of its sales from alcohol and one that makes 51%? (I didn’t think so.)

They allowed guns — open carry, no less! — in bars on “Gunsmoke.” It is the American way. ;-)

Full disclosure: I support Dan Patrick for Lt Gov, by the way!
