Since I don't drink when I'm out, I'm fine with that provision.

I guess leaving your gun at home isn't an option.... I'm sorry, I've avoided this thread and I know that we've all had this argument before but I will never understand this... I've lived in some of the grimiest hoods this country has to offer and I've never felt the need to carry a gun everywhere I go. I know for a fact that most of you live in the country or 100k+ homes, located in quiet suburbs with HOAs... I bet some of you carry to church on Sunday! Anyway, I'm sorry but I honestly think that a bar is the last place you'd want people to carry guns into. Seriously, even if YOU aren't drunk, there will still be drunk people there and what might have been a typical "pushing match" could easily denigrate into someone getting shot.
