Florida carry in bars?

[4Opencarry]

Does anyone know the specific rule for concealed carry in bars in Florida?
Some say the establishment must serve mostly food and some say you cannot carry in a bar at all.
When liquor is present (I am not a drinker) I feel safer when I can have a gun on me. I have heard of people being shot or stabbed in bars.

790.06 (12), Florida Statutes
12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;

So does this mean retaurant/bar that serves mostly food?
need clarification.

can't carry in bars as it is considered a 'place of nuisance' but you can in restaurants that have a bar so long you not sitting at the bar or consuming alcohol

If you go to a restaurant (TGIF, MILLERS ALE HOUSE, ETC,) that has a bar section you are good as long as you stay out of the designated "BAR" section.

WRONG, a bar is not a place of nuisance -

[SIZE=-1]790.06[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1](12)(a) A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into:1. Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05;


[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] 823.05 [/SIZE][SIZE=-1](1) Whoever shall erect, establish, continue, or maintain, own or lease any building, booth, tent or place which tends to annoy the community or injure the health of the community, or become manifestly injurious to the morals or manners of the people as described in s. 823.01, or any house or place of prostitution, assignation, lewdness or place or building where games of chance are engaged in violation of law or any place where any law of the state is violated, shall be deemed guilty of maintaining a nuisance[/SIZE]
