We need to put in place a law where if an establishment wants to remove your right to protect yourself, then they take on the legal responsibility to protect you. This way if something happens, you or your family can sue the establishment for not having adequate security to remove someones rights. There should also be an expectation that everyone is armed and their rights continue up until they enter your establishment. This would me they will need the adequate security to store your weapon while your rights are being violated. Put all the cost on the gun free zones instead of on the responsible citizen.

I actually got denied my CCW in Placer County. Before I tell you their "reasoning", I'll tell you what I think they denied me based on. I believe I was denied because I wore a beanie to the interview (my hair gets in my eyes, surviving transplant patient and I've worn one since, shouldn't even matter!), as well as the fact that I'm a security guard. Cops hate security guards, we all know this. They just hate them and it's a fact. They also hate poor people. Now here is their reason. They supposedly denied me because they "felt", yes "felt" like I was lying about why I was suspended from my job. I told them at the time I didn't know, which was true. Nor did I care to find out. My job emailed the suspension to me, and I was over that job, so I didn't care. He told me to give him my best guess, so I told him disagreements with a supervisor. That was true. I offered to look at the email while in the interview and show him, which he declined! That's how I know it's all bs.

[@williamwofford2503]

If I am going to drink I stay home , its cheaper , no chance of DUI , and you can't get in a bar fight if you stay out of the bar . I live in Texas and though we dont have too many crazy gun laws ...the law that left this man unarmed in California ..Is also in Texas .......Texas law restricts the carry of firearms at places that sell alcohol. Bars that make more than half of their sales from alcohol ...So it's in Texas too The restriction on carrying a firearm in bars in Texas doesn’t just refer to traditional bars. It also applies to an establishment that earns more than half of its revenue from alcohol-related sales and consumption. In Texas, this is known as the 51 percent rule. In other words, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission considers an establishment a “bar” if it makes 51 percent of its income/revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages. It’s obvious that a bar is a place where most or all of the revenue comes from alcohol consumption. However, it can be difficult to clearly tell if a restaurant that also serves a full menu of food and nonalcoholic options is also a place where a firearm can’t be carried. This is why bars and restaurants in Texas display “51 percent” signs. These highly visible signs include “51 percent” in large red letters to further increase clarity. If you do carry a firearm into a bar or restaurant with a clearly displayed 51 percent sign, you could face some serious legal consequences. According to uslawshield.com, carrying a firearm into any establishment considered a “51 percent” place of business could result in fines of up to $10,000 and up to 10 years in prison.

How they think it is fair that good people should be vulnerable like this while the bad guys have the convenience of not worrying that their victims might be armed.

@@MrTheDif I get that. There are still places that just don't need any firearms to be in. Nightclubs, shoe show clubs and the like just don't need anyone in with firearms. The local watering hole when the person who is carrying stays dry can be a good thing. It would have stopped this one a lot sooner.

[@MrTheDif]

@@keithmalmberg8395 a responsible person should be able to carry anywhere. And what is a "shoe show club?" The problem with your theory is that obviously not everyone is going to obey the policy and a responsible person might need to protect themselves from someone else.

Also in Santa Clara county our sheriff Laurie smith was charged for corruption. She would decide who gets CCW depending if they trade her an iPod or donate hella money so as an American citizen how are we suppose to react to this? The 2nd amendment was made to check the government when they infringe on our rights, it clearly states that government shall not infringe but look where we are at today. It’s a shame and sad that they don’t care or value human life, especially our children’s lives

I have carried my gun since the 1990's, I carried everywhere, church, supermarket, theaters, parks, schools, and even checked my weapon in at the airport and carried it at my destination. I always believed in having it and not need it, than needing it and not have it! It actually became a mindset. However I knew, no capital buildings, court house, federal buildings etc., but I carried everywhere. Now if they have a sign or policy or law stating I can't carry, I don't go there!

If your BAC is low enough to legally drive, you should be allowed to use a gun for defense. But if you do so, you better be able to show that your use of force was legitimate. Having said that, I myself don't drink -- but there are many places that sell alcohol but have really good food. I have also gone to a bar with friends and had plain old sweet tea while they drank.

This is why I adamantly refuse to patronize any business that bans concealed carry. If carry in a type of business is banned by law I do not enter and if I walk up to a business that posts no guns allowed, I turn around and leave. The only place I cannot follow that is Doctor/Hospital visits or government business such as renewing registrations or driver's license.

[@menegene4129]

Since I started carrying a year ago, my habits have changed in a few ways. The main ones being 1) I actively avoid any premises that openly expresses any desire to cultivate a target rich environment, and 2) I don't drink when I go out because I don't want to be in any unfit state to carry while I'm with family or away from home. In summary, I carry wherever I can when I leave home.

Oddly in Taxachusetts they treat carrying a firearm the same as operating a vehicle. You can carry as long as your BAL is below .08.

In Arizona, it is a law, not a policy. But, if you have a ccw and there's no sign prohibiting it and you don't drink, you can carry.

[@NoNonsense316]

In some states, it's not just a rule, it's a law. Here in Ohio, they changed the law 8 years ago. Now, you can bring a gun into a bar, if you're not consuming alcohol. Going to constitutional (permitless) carry last year does not appear to have changed that law.

[@jamesfowley4114]

[@dlbracer56]

The same lunacy exists here in Florida. Just walking through the "adult section" (bar) of a restaurant with your CCW is illegal. So, a dinner at Texas Roadhouse means "go around " not through the bar. Smaller "oyster bars" make CCW impossible.

[@kennethfeagins1414]

Counter to common belief, Texas has a 51% law that prohibits carry (open or concealed) in any establishment where 51% of sales are derived from alcohol. So, we take it further, not even policy, but is a law. And penalties are stiff.

[@egmjag]

One of the most valuable and challenging college courses I took over 35 years ago was utilitarianism, with an emphasis on Jerry Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Suzanna Hupp who saw her parents being murdered before her at a Luby's restaurant in a mall with a no guns policy forever regretted her decision to leave her gun in the car. Sometimes the greater good like the preservation of life requires violating lesser rules and laws.

[@freedomrings7976]

I agree, and I also agree that drinking while armed may not typically be the best idea. However in this case it could have saved lives. But then I wonder, what would have been the consequences for you if you ignored the law/policy and were armed and stop the threat. Wouldnt the lesser of evils Prevail ? Or jail time

Wondering that myself. There is however precedent in mall shooter case within the last year. Different state, however

Growing up in the PNW absolutely every single hunting season at practically 75% of camps are fully stocked with rivers of beer & boxes of whiskey peppered throughout em all & I've seen dozens of people who have been successful earlier in the day get tilted in a celebratory fashion, I've yet to hear or read about someone accidentally getting shot. It is because of hunters safety is required to hunt in most if not all states in order to pursue any big game animal therefore you are taught at a fairly early age how to respect firearms fully as well as treat them all as if loaded regardless if it's real or a toy, never point at anything your not willing to shoot, last but not least at all times upto expected firing the weapon always keep your booger hooks off the trigger! 😉

[@Chris_Landry]

why do y'all cover this, if he had stopped the shooter and he was arrested, y'all automatically won't cover him for anything civil and won't help him defend him helping save people because of y'all own policy. I think it was on page 4, it was a a month or 2 ago I read it

[@TEXASGIANT1959]

In Minnesota you can carry in a bar if your BAC remains under .04%. Cross the river to North Dakota and you gotta disarm before entering. Luckily restaurants that also serve alcohol (something like less than 30% of their revenue from alcohol sales) don't count as "bars".

[@Matt_Allgood]

I'm pretty sure the Florida statute allows impairment limits, the same as driving and boating. Also, it allows a concealed gun in the dining area of a restaurant, but not the bar area, and not in an establishment that is only a bar, without food, or limited food. Interestingly, the impairment limit is only for brandishing or firing. Carrying can be at any time, I think.
