Guns allowed in Arizona bars starting Wednesday

The purpose of the legislation was not to allow people to carry and drink in bars. The main reason was to allow a person carrying to eat in a resturant that also had a liquor license. Consuming alcoholic beverages while carrying is a violation of Arizona law although it is allowed in some other States, such as Nevada and Utah.

I agree completely.

When I lived in AZ and got my CCW they stressed quite a few times that you couldn't carry in any place that serves alcohol to the public. Somehow the media has done what they do best and turned this in to an issue of old west style bar fights breaking out in every "saloon" in town.

For those of you who have never lived in a free state, there's a different mentality. People don't freak out over a gun sighting. It's really no big deal even though the media would like you to think it is.

This will go down like Florida CCWs on the freeways, all the way to the day it goes into affect the liberals will rave and rant about bring back the "dangerous days" of the "Wild West" and how people will get drunk and start shooting each other and there will be a huge jump in shooting deaths. What happend in Florida? No one got into accidents and pulled guns on eachother, it never happend and the libs dropped the issue. Same deal, they are making mountains out of molehills and the same sheep keep falling for the same stuff.
