[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1036646, member: 2989"] Here is my opinion on the matter. Should CCW holders be allowed in bars? YES! However, they should not be allowed to consume alcohol while carrying in the bar or tavern. Some here are probably going to jump on my case for this. I don't care, but it comes down to discipline. Many here would throw a fit if they saw someone or watched a video on youtube of an amateur not practicing proper trigger discipline with their finger. Doesn't matter if you have 15yrs firearms experience or a seasoned competition pro, there is generally low tolerance for people who don't practice solid trigger discipline with their fingers or properly checking the chamber of a firearm to make sure it's clear. Most if not all ranges will kick you out of their facilities if you do not practice proper safety and trigger discipline. Alcohol is the same thing. I don't care if you think you can drink me under the table or think you're fine after a few beers... heck even just after one beer. As a responsible person holding a firearm, it is important that you practice proper discipline and gun safety. [B]NOT DRINKING WHILE CARRYING IS PART OF GUN SAFETY[/B]. Drinking while carrying is the same thing as putting your finger on the trigger on an uncleared firearm in my book and is grounds for getting kicked out of the bar. I would even go so far as to say that it should be a punishable offense. Yeah yeah, I know.... more laws to take away our freedoms... but this is one area that I believe laws are necessary to force change and discipline. If you want to carry, don't drink... otherwise, keep your firearms out of the bar. People who say that drinking a beer and carrying a firearm is fine and doesn't hurt is like saying pulling the trigger on an uncleared firearm is ok, cause you were sure it was empty to begin with.
