Because you can be in a bar with a gun and not drink


Blood has run in the streets since the same laws were enacted in GA and FL.
 
If sober guy shoots the drunk guy he better have a damn good reason. No different than if it was in a bar, in the street, in a store, in front of a bank, in a bank, at the mall, at the local Target...

I don't know. Maybe he is the DD and trying to keep other people from breaking the law by drinking and driving.

And having a gun is not illegal until you set foot inside those four walls and someone else decides to drink.

Expect for the fact that violence in bars and restaurants has not increased in states which allow carry in them.
 
That would be a permanent solution I suppose.


I suppose not. I guess it's small consolation that it hasn't happened since. There's a slim chance it could happen again.




Indeed. How often do crazed gunmen drive their cars through a restaurant window and go on a shooting spree? Is it reasonable to assume that that is a regular occurrence, and justification to bring guns into bars and restaurants?

In a way I think that's about as knee-jerk as banning guns all together.

A person could find a willing sex partner in a bar,while they were carrying, AND sober....just sayin'

just some "enlightenment" for the pretty 'lil world some of us live in


The highest percentage of robberies occurred against people on the street
 
Why would you feel compelled to take a gun into a restaurant?

Are you going to use it for the Heimlich maneuver? That's the only way I see it saving a life in the restaurant.

I could see this scenario: Unsatisfied customer pulls gun out on the defenseless waiter for bad service.
 
I mean...what kind of faggot shit goes on in the hinterland where you need to have a gun at a bar because of arguments and bullshit

that is what is truly baffling to me. I haven't once had an encounter where the first thought in my head was " Oh man, I really wish I had a smith and wesson right now"
 
You're right, they are not the same.

Far more deaths are caused by drunk drivers than by drunk gun-toters.

Far more deaths would be prevented if you simply banned cars at bars. If you want to go to a bar, you have to hail a cab, take the bus, have someone drop you off, etc.
 
Why can't a bring a gun into a hospital, or federal building, or airplane, but i can bring it into a bar?
 
I understand the point you're trying to make, but I'm not going to put myself in a position where my firearm could easily be discovered. Will I ever carry in a club/bar? Doubt it. Do I think it's a great idea to do so? Not really. Does that mean I think doing so should be illegal? Absolutely not. But here's the thing, this applies to any establishment that serves alcohol. What's wrong with carrying while enjoying dinner at Olive Garden? Or any other regular restaurant that serves alcohol? Remember, it's still illegal to consume alcohol while carrying.



No matter how well worded and thought out your argument may be, it's still an anti-gun position, and I can't get behind.
 
I don't have the data on reduction of crime in bars since the bill was enacted or crimes that did not occur due to people carrying firearms in said businesses
 
One might suggest that a fondness for guns is a reflection of some fondness for violence that already exists. That is: guns may not make people violent, but that doesn't mean that people who own guns aren't more violent.

At the very least, we can safely assume that most pacifists don't own guns. Anyone who would never use a gun probably doesn't own one, so we can assume that people who have guns are people who might potentially use them, and therefore people who are, at least in that regard, more violent on average than people who don't own guns.
