LOL. In Germany beer isn't really considered alcohol, it's even served to children. Restaurants have child-sized beer mugs for them.I remember going to a restaurant with a bunch of my AA Buddies in a town called Vokenrot in Germany they barely understood English we barely understood German and they were absolutely positive they were not understanding us when we told them we did not want any alcohol with our meal. They kept trying to bring us beer.
ANY medication or drug? So if you take a statin or a blood-pressure pill... ???Be under the influence of any medication or drug, whether prescribed or not.

"Obviously". Uh-huh. They should have written what they meant, not used such ambiguous language. With this wording, a person on the We Don't Like You list could be charged with a violation for taking any medication whatsoever.That question was frequently asked. The answer from DOJ (when one of the instructors called to ask) was that they were obviously talking about medications/drugs (legal or illegal) that caused physiological impairment (lack of coordination, slurred speech, loss of balance, etc) and impairment of judgment.
I carry concealed everywhere I go, even where it's unlawful.
I don't care.
Nobody knows but me.
I have the same right to self-defense after I've had a beer or two as I do completely sober.
I don't go looking for trouble and I walk away from possible trouble.

They did write what they meant, just not as clearly as some might've wished."Obviously". Uh-huh. They should have written what they meant, not used such ambiguous language.

I've never seen that before. You can't carry in a bar or any portion of a restaurant dedicated to serving alcohol. But how would you even know how much revenue the place gets anyway? They put 51% signs up in Texas, but not here.Florida is the same as Texas; if more than 50% of the restaurant/bar business’ revenue is from alcohol sales you cannot carry a concealed weapon into the place.
Same in AZIn Ohio you can carry in places serving alcohol as long as you don't consume any.
Good for you!I'm saying goodbye to this state as soon as practicable.
Concealed carrier defends him- or herself and it's clearly a case of self-defense, but govt doesn't like this person because they vocally advocate for liberty, so they charge them with carrying while being under the influence of their statin or similar drug. Because the law says "any drug".As far as a "We don't like you" list? Charged with what violation? Of what statute?
The OWNER couldn't have a firearm?!?!?Statute vagueness is a feature, not a flaw, from the lawmakers' point of view. It gives them maximum impact without having to admit up front what they were really trying to accomplish. Bureaucratic rulemakers are worse.
Kansas is fortunate. The "Do not carry" signs carry no weight of law. That is, all the businesses can do is ask you to leave. If you don't leave, then you are trespassing.
The laws in Texas regarding firearms in bars is not new. I lived in Texas in the 1970's and I knew an owner of a roadhouse. He was frustrated that he could not legally have a firearm in his place of business, when the criminals and troublemakers could. Edit to add: That is, criminals don't follow laws.
Correct. Nobody could have a gun in the roadhouse. And yes, there were cases of DA's going after bar owners who defended themselves and patrons with a firearm.The OWNER couldn't have a firearm?!?!?
That's insane.Correct. Nobody could have a gun in the roadhouse. And yes, there were cases of DA's going after bar owners who defended themselves and patrons with a firearm.
