I have several friends who regularly carry after having a few beers. They have told me it's not a big deal as long as you're opnly having a few and not getting "wasted". I definitely wouldn't feel safe around someone who was carrying drunk and I don't drink period so it's null for me. But what I think they also need to be concerned about is the legality of doing that in public. I can find the rules for other states but can anyone tell me or better yet point me in the right direction as to where I can find KY law pertaining to this. I've looked everywhere and it never says specifically just that you can't carry in bars. It makes me wonder if there even is a limit for drinking and carryng. Is it 0.08 just like drinking and driving or would consuming any alcohol be considered illegal? Thanks for your alls feedback. Donny

AL has some very strange laws.Do NOT be under the influence of drugs or alchohol while carrying in AL or your permit is void. I personally think this is a good law. As others have stated, guns & booze = bad news! You might as well douse yourself in gasoline and strike a match!
:nono: Alcohol and guns don't mix. I'd find some smarter friends, if I were you.
AL has some very strange laws.
It's void if the issuing sheriff says it is or puts it as a restriction on your AL permit (i.e. a qualified permit). AL is may issue with whatever set of restrictions the issuing sheriff wants to put on it or give you an unlimited license with no restrictions. It's also part of Link Removed that the sheriff may revoke any license issued by them for any reason. It's not codified that you'll get your AL license revoked if you're carrying under the influence but there's a very high probability it will.
- May but typically does issue with any set of restrictions the issuing sheriff wishes.
- Recognition and reciprocity with many States.
- No short rifles or shotguns. Silencers, machine guns, large bore destructive devices and AOWs allowed.
It's also interesting to note that if you're visiting AL that this does not apply to you. AL sheriffs cannot put any restrictions on a recognized or reciprocal State's CCW. AL sheriffs do not have the authority to revoke a recognized or reciprocal CCW as they did not issue it.
The problem is that you have a very powerful lobbyist to your State legislature, that's why it keeps on getting shot down. Be patient and persistent with your State legislators.Along the same lines, I think the law prohibiting carry in an establishment that sells for consumption needs some attention. I agree with the law when it comes to alcohol only establishments (bars), but I think I should be allowed to carry in a restaurant. When was the last drunken brawl at Applebee's or Olive Garden? I have no problem dining beside a responsible carrying citizen who wants to have a couple glasses of wine with dinner.
Real casinos are essentially megamall sized establishments with machines, tables, bars, restaurants and other methods of entertainment.Bar only would mean that they only sell alcohol. That would omit any place that also sells food. Around here the alcohol only bars can get pretty rough. Casinos sell food so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't go to bars just because I don't drink, but I do go out to dinner at restaurants that happen to serve alcohol.
