    Irrelevant. Absolutely irrelevant. Guns in bars will lead to drunk shooting galleries. Blood will flow faster than booze.

    I bet you 8/10 anti's will ignore this study and continue to believe it.

    Because they can read between the lines.

    I have no problem with guns in bars. If I see a guy openly carrying and drinking, I'm outta there. I guess things you learn at an early age are entrenched in the mind. I was always told that alcohol and firearms don't mix.

    What the antis missed was the fact OC into a restaurant (and drinking) was already legal. The fact CCWers can carry into but not drink shouldn't have caused shooting galleries that weren't there before. But we all know the antis weren't concerned about shooting galleries, its the fact crime goes down and thus people need the government less, destroying their utopia.

    That bad, huh?

    I realize you didn't define what you meant by "drinking", but being a PA resident, I was OCing yesterday when I went to applebee's and had a beer with my steak before going to catch a movie. I don't see the issue there.

    I wouldn't drink a sixpack while carrying, but there is a difference between drinking and "drinking". Of course, you are also entitled to your opinion, and I don't fault you for it. Just saying if you can have a beer and operate a car, I'm not sure I see the issue.

    I oc in va alot many times I have had a glass of wine with my dinner and thats it I have a glass of wine with my steak and have no problems. I agree if I saw some on slammming shots and acting up I would get the hell out of there to. But I see it as part of being a responasible person in general to know when to draw the line.

    1 good rib eye and a glass of wine no problem. pounding beers and shot big problem.

    This news was broadcasted via WTOP radio yesterday evening. It is a good sign WTOP just stated the facts without any usual "additions".

    I have no issue with you having a beer or a glass of wine. I think that is fine. If you say "keep'em coming", that is what I have an issue with. Let's say - more than two. I don't care how well you "hold your liquor".
