I legally carry in the liquor store whenever I go shopping there. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. |

Don't Mess With Texas  |
Sorry to burst your bubble LittleGun, but unless the law has just recently changed, you can still be arrested for having a concealed handgun in a 51% establishment even if its not posted. The law states that the establishment must post the 51% sign, but is up to the CHL holder to know whether or not it qualifies as an establishment under the 51% law. Kind of messed up that we should know these things even if the establishment isn't posted, but then again its usually pretty easy to figure it out. _________ Do the interns get Glocks...? No, they all share one. |

Yes you are safe, by my understanding. SC has a similar language. The purpose is to provide legal recourse for the stupid. ------------------------------- Colt Peacemaker .357 Magnum P220 Equinox, P226 Tactical |

Ohio - Can't be 'under the influence' and in possession of a firearm. ORC doesn't define 'under the influence' so any amount can get you arrested even if in your home. Can't carry anywhere that serves alcohol for consumption on property.
Nevada - With a CCL you can carry and drink up to .10 outside the home, without a CCL you can posses a firearm if you are under .10 ... Inside the home... whatever you can do while sober you can do intoxicated... Nevada is the way it should be everywhere... IMHO I feel that law abiding CCL holders are no different than licensed drivers who safely operate a motor vehicle after a few drinks. This message has been edited. Last edited by: sig228-gsr, |

Just as the 51%, this isn't true either. Penal Code Section 46.035 does stipulate in section d it is unlawful to carry "while the license holder is intoxicated, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed." The catch is there is no stipulated lower limit like the .08 for DUI. Determination of "intoxication" is strictly up to the judgement of the arresting officer. So the best idea is still not to drink at all. 115 + 115 = 230 |

Drinking in public while carrying is not smart.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- |

You can go out CCW and consume alcohol in my state... what's legal however isn't always very smart!
My personal choice is to never mix drinking with CCW, driving or making major purchases!  _________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ Springfield Loaded Champion ~ S&W 1911PD ~ S&W 1911SC ~ ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell! |

Agree on both counts. Iowa laws do not prohibit CCW in a bar or a restaurant that serves alcohol, and I carry when we go out to eat (I drive, Mrs Sigmund can drink). My IA non-professional permit states "Invalid when using or consuming alcohol or illegal drugs." At home, I put away the guns before popping open a rare beer or two. |

In CT the law states it's illegal to carry while intoxicated. I think they use the DUI standard for enforcement.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't want to be the test case. Also, Vthoky, you're wrong about VA. VA merely prohibits concealed carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol. Open carry is still perfectly legal there. Sig P228 / Para 13.45 / Beretta M9 / DPMS AR-15 / Ruger 10/22. A=A |

Confused, very confused |
I apply the same rules to carrying as I do to riding a motorcycle. I'll have a beer with dinner while carrying or riding, but no more than that level of intoxication (which for me is about 2 drinks over the course of an evening). Here in WA, that's all good and legal. As someone else mentioned, it's only unlawful to carry in the portion of an establishment restricted to persons 21 and over by the state liquor board.

I agree with Lostlogic, I don't see anything wrong with having a beer with dinner and carrying (assuming it's legal to carry where alcohol is served in your state). If you are sober enough to drive a deadly weapon home, you are sober enough to carry, and defend your life.

CCW or not, in Ohio you cannot have any alcohol while having a loaded firearm in your possession.

If you have even one drink while carrying you are an idiot. Not only is it an impairing drug, but my biggest fear is the prosecuting attorney.
No matter how justified you may be in pulling the trigger, if you are drinking it will be an issue. I personally don't even go into a bar if I have a gun on me. But if I did, I wouldn't drink.

In NC you can't carry if you have ANY amount of alcohol in your system. If I occasionally have a cold one at home, I remove my gun and secure it properly. Needless to say, my drinking has decreased considerably.

Correct... restaurants that serve alchohol are okay... 21 & over ONLY are restricted. I usually don't bother anymore. Too many things can go wrong. If I'm planning on drinking at all, I usually don't carry at all. |

Drinking while carrying = stupid
While it is law that you can't carry in a place that serves alcohol for consumption I don't think there is a law that prohibits carrying while intoxicated. Even if it is legal no one should carry after drinking. |

In Nebraska, firearm are a no no only if the establishment derives 50% or more of its income from alcohol.
