Interesting, I wonder how many restaurants that are posting no weapons. I really was not aware that my state allowed it being they don't want you in a liqueur store with a weapon.

So far, I've only encountered one here and that was Buffalo Wild Wings. I think this is a pretty common place to have a sign from what I've heard. Needless to say, I don't go there anymore.

That would be nice. Went to Red Robin this afternoon and had to leave the gun in the car.

Was that the only restaurant in town?

No, but try and find one that doesn't serve alcohol...

Going to Cracker Barrel all the time gets old.

LOL @ that map with Calif on it !!!

Try getting a CCW permit here or in any major metropolis south of Truckee.
Try carrying open or concealed, esp in a restaurant. Not unless ya like being a walking cop's bullet trap.

That thing's clazy!

I did notice the "No Weapons" sign at one of the many Buffalo Wild Wings here in Northern Kentucky last week. I stopped for a second, thinking I might have to go put my gun in the car. Not because I pay any attention to those signs. They carry little weight in Kentucky. I hesitated because we have the 51 rule here. I was trying to figure out if BW's made more money on alcohol or food. I was just picking up a take-out order anyway, so I went in, got my food and left. Made me wonder though. If it's not posted, how do you know what percent of their revenue comes from what?

I dunnow-- call me Commie but....

I respect others wishes when it comes to firearms.
Be it an eatery or a home.

If somone expresses a wish for me not to carry on thier propperty, I don't.
It's happened before, it'll happen again. I see it this way, I have the right to carry but, it don't trump their wishes on their property.

I hear yer gripes and feel yer pain.
And I HATE leaving mine in the truck.
I'd feel a lot better if it were in my safe. Freakin' PIA.

And I was kidding about callin' me a commie. Do it and, well....

Help a clueless brother out .... what's the 51 rule?

............

A business that derives 51 percent or more of its income from the sale of alcohol for on-premises consumption.

Let's not get this thread confused with the posted business thread. This is about State law that prohibits carry, not about restaurants that choose to post a sign.

Ah!

Copy that....

Thanks man.

-k.

according to opencarry you can carry in to a restaurants in GA, or I have been braking the law.

Bingo. Any place around here worth eating at has a liquor license.

Guess I should keep my eyes peeled a little better. Only signs I pay any atttention to, or notice I should say, are "Open" or "Closed". I'll start paying more attention. Good post and comments Bruce. My guess is that the other states like mine just haven't thought of it yet. To busy picking our pockets and running companies out of the state I guess. I lived in Charlotte for 4 years (9 years ago) and had no idea they were so anti gun oriented. Seems a bit peculiar it being the south and all but what do I know.

As horrible as the laws are of what guns are allowed in Massachusetts it is nice that I can carry almost anywhere. As long as its not a school, court house, or federal building, Im good to go.

Our new Arizona Govenor could have simply not vetoed our 2A bills and they would have become law Sept. 30 but she is an advocate of 2A rights so signed them yesterday showing solid support.

We on Sept. 30 will be able to carry in an establishment that serves alcohol which means restaurants or bars as long as we do not consume and have a concealed carry permit. There was a bit too much opposition to open carry but we will take care of that next year.

Hmmm! I thought Ohio was a majority of places that would not allow CC in restaraunts that served alcohol.

Seems I was wrong about that - I better get busy and write my State Rep and AG and find out what's up with that!

I probably already know the answer to that - I'm sure the way the liqour licenses are issued it was easier for them to say that places of business that have this type of liqour license you cannot carry - Guess I'm gonna have to make them do a little work for ME!

So in Virginia if you have a CC you have to pull out your pistola to eat in a restaraunt?

Just curious - I CC when I visit my son in VA and have not yet taken it with me to eat. Thought it was the same there as it is here in OH.

Of course, you're lucky to even have a carry license up there...you have to display pressing need to apply for one, and self defense isn't considered a valid reason.

Nope, but I took a look at their laws when I was considering a job up that way, and checked with people who have lived there. I really didn't like what I heard.

I don't blame you. If you lived within the city limits of Boston, forget it you have no chance. Living in almost any of the other towns in Mass. though you should't have a problem obtaining a ccw. My reason was simple. "All lawful purposes". Both my wife and I have no restrictions on our licenses.

Yeah...I saw CA and HI listed as places you can carry...pretty funny. Up until a few years ago there were no permits issued in Hawaii. Now I've learned that there are a handful issued to security guards. At least that's progress...
