Well, look at this. This bar is near Clemson University, a college bar. Its in the upper state of SC, a very conservative area, near the Greenville Metro area halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte.
This courageous, small business owning American practice HIS right and his free speech.
SC passed a law allowing people to carry guns into bars. Booze and bullets, they mix, right?
Anyway, bars can post signs banning CWP holders from packing heat (you know, "just in case" they need to stand their ground by the pool tables).
This guy's sign not only bans them, but quotes: NO CONCEALED WEAPONS ALLOWED. If you are such a loser that you feel a need to carry a gun with you when you go out, I do not want your business. Douchebag.
He couldn't have said it any better. I support the right to own a gun, and keep it at your home and in your car. But I do NOT want to be next to some right wing idiot who needs to pack heat every time he goes to a bar or movie or walk in the park. Those folks are just not the type of people I want to be around, and God Bless America for allowing this brave small business owner to practice his right to keep those idiots out of his business.
If I had a kid that went to Clemson, I'd hope they'd choose this bar as their choice watering hole (hey, they're gonna go out and drink, face it)
Good!! As a gun owner I cannot understand why guns should be allowed in a bar, that's all they need is some tanked up hillbilly with a loaded firearm in a bar looking for a fight, no good can come of it. In addition the bar owner has to think about the liability issue.
Looking for an amen? You got one.
In Florida, you cannot bring your weapon into a place were the primary purpose is serving alcoholic beverages. If you go into a Holiday Inn restaurant you can order beer or even a mixed drink with your meal, but if you take a seat at the bar you violate the law. You can also go into liquor store because they sell alcohol but do not serve it. Once , a long time ago, I went to a place that was both a bar and a liquor store. You could enter the liquor store either from the outside or from the bar area. On this particular night, the outside entrance to the liquor store was locked, so I knocked on the door. The attendant motioned for me to come around through the bar. I told him I was armed and could not enter the bar. At first he looked shocked but he unlocked the door for me.
I drink, I carry and I drive but to me, but drinking and carrying makes as much sense as drinking and driving.
