Thanks for asking for clarification. I am an Ohio resident (I just got my CC there in December) and I applied for a FL nonresident CC because I travel in a number of states that do not recognize OH but do recognize FL.
I have a question that I put to the FL office that issues CC permits in the state when I applied for my nonresident CC permit on Wednesday. I can't say that I frequent bars, but I understand that one cannot carry in a class D-4 (or at least I think that was the designation) liquor establishment.
My question is whether it is legal to carry in restaurants that also serve alcohol if you are 1) not consuming yourself and 2) are seated in the restaurant area rather than in the separate bar area.
I can't say that I have noticed no carry signs at our local Applebees, but then I have not been looking real close until now either.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Neal
I think it varies everywhere! Its so hard to find the answers! Here in Tn.,actually Knoxville Tn. We can carry in any restaurant that has a bar like Applebees,Olive Garden,Texas Road House those type places! Has long has they don't have a sign up saying NO to WEAPONS!! Now you can't drink Alcohol! Besides its not the safest thing to do anyways while carrying a weapon + needless to say drive! Any ways we sit in the bar all the time at a table
an eat! They are always trying to fix it so we can't so far we still can! Now if its an actual BAR!! Then thats a big NO NO!! I wish I knew for sure where the answers were but it seems no matter what state you live in they do their darn best NOT to let us have or fine the answers.Almost like they want us to get in trouble so we can either recieve a fine or worst yet lose our permit!
Here is a good place to start: Link Removed Laws do change, but this site is pretty good at staying up to date. Reading the actual text of the laws is good too. (That is a good thing to do anyway.)I wish I knew for sure where the answers were but it seems no matter what state you live in they do their darn best NOT to let us have or fine the answers.
