It’s a difficult situation. On the one hand, no guns equals a free-fire, free-kill zone.
On the other, a heavily crowded bar is a tough place to have fully weaponized, because heavy alcohol consumption and guns don’t mix well. Even in the Old West they used to hang up their belts when they entered some of the saloons.
Of course, it’s easy for me to say, since I don’t frequent heavily crowded bars, especially heavily crowded gay bars.

I agree. But heavy alcohol consumption and driving don’t mix well, either. People are still allowed to drive to and from bars, even if they have a drink or two.
I don’t have more than 1 or drinks per night if I’m carrying. Some will say you shouldn’t have any, and that’s a personal choice, at least in my state.
Know your limits.
At least you know your history in regards to the old west.
Answer the questions in front of the clerk without a crib sheet, and if you pass (20 out of 20 suggested) .. he sells you the gun
MY experience is, every gun dealer knows how to "chat guns" and can spot someone that doesn't have a full and/or mature "air" about them concerning guns
Those people can't pass the test ... and no government was involved
