The problem is not what I'm going to do. The problem is what someone else is going to do and I won't be able to defend myself because I obey the law.
I take the responsibility that goes with carrying very seriously and will not drink while carrying or will not carry if going to drink.

The Bar I used to work at was considered a Gun and Knife Joint. They check you at the door and if you don't have a gun or knife....they issue you one!!
Seriously, I am mixed about this. Personally, I think that I should be able to, but I'm not so sure about the rest of you Heathens!. As a guy who has seen a bunch of stupis **** happen at bars, I think we need to be real careful about it. I personally have stared down the barrel of a gun twice at the bar I worked. Both times we were in the process of removing a patron from the establishment using a fairly sufficient amount of force (they had it coming). One was in the parking lot after we "helped" the gentleman to his vehicle. The other was in the middle of the bar after he slapped his girlfriend and we were in the process of explaining to him that we didn't appreciate that type of behavior. That one really got my attention. I was reasonably sure at least one of us was gonna get shot. Especially after one of my fellow employees blurted out " put that damned thing away. You ain't gonna shoot no one!" Not the smartest comment I ever heard considering the situation.
I have no intention of every being in place like you described (again) but if I were it wouldn't be to hang out and it would seem obvious that the need to be armed would be more reasonable than in most places I find myself.
Many years ago, I was 19 or 20 years old, I had a flat on my old 66 chevy pickup on north memorial in Tulsa. It was a very cold night around midnight. I discovered I had removed the jack and had not put it back in the truck. There was a bar in the parking lot I pulled into so I went in to see if anyone had a jack. A nice guy at the bar said he had one I could use and met me at my truck.
As I began changing the tire a couple guys walked out of another nearby bar and were walking toward us. The guy who loaned me the jack pulled a 1911 out of his coat pocket racked the slide and held the gun at this side. The two men turned and walked back into the bar. No words were spoken by anyone. I just remember being very glad he had a jack and the 1911.
