Same here in Florida, and it's a stupid law, since it puts a prior restraint on folks. I don't drink, so why shouldn't I be able to carry in bars?
Law-abiding citizens don't always remain so when they are liquored-up.
All the more reason for the good guys to carry in places that serve alcohol.
These yahoos are gonna mess it up for everyone else, and ability to carry unconcealed is gonna go by the wayside!
So the state will infringe upon their Right to open carry if they actually exercise that Right? How Orwellian.
If you don't drink, why go to bars? Intoxicated folk who open carry are easily disarmed. Also i can imagine a business owners insurance company finding out he allows open carry of loaded firearms in his establishment, and thus his insurance premiums rocketing out of control, or his insurance being canceled outright. ONLY MORONS CARRY OPEN WEAPONS INTO BARS!
