I appreciate the input. As I stated in my initial post, I do not frequent nor do I seek out establishments that sell liquor for consumption. But to say that you don't realize what restaurants do and do not sell alcohol for consumption is really short sighted. When you walk into a Ruby Tuesday's, Chili’s, etc. - the first thing you see if the huge bar in the restaurant (and I used Ruby’s & Chili’s as examples, if you don’t go there, that’s cool, but don’t litter the thread with “I don’t go here or there”). And from what my CWP instructor, other instructors, and LEOs have remarked on this subject, that it is a HUGE no no. I am all about keeping my weapon with me, but not to the point of breaking the law(s) we are all trying to uphold. We all went through the time and effort to obtain our CWPs, in order to be able to conceal carry legally. Why jeopardize what we are all working so hard to keep? The "No harm, no foul" attitude just does not cut it, and when it comes down to someone losing their CWP over this issue, until it becomes legal, is not worth the price. All we need is some liberal knee-jerking kool-aid drinker to distort this out of proportion. I certainly do not want to end up like the poor folks in California, N.J., or Illinois. They have little or zero access to their 2nd Amendment rights. We all need to stay smart about carrying concealed, because when one makes a mistake, it affects us all. So until we can carry legally in establishments that serve alcohol for consumption. Please think twice about the bigger picture.
