ScottDLS,

O.K.

When you walk into a bar that doesn't serve any food, just booze, (perhaps with a juke box complete with twangy bumpkin music), but there's no sign - would you carry?

I hope not.

If though, there's no sign and the status of the joint is ambiguous, consider finding out with a little research. It can be done in advance rather say, than choosing to hope you've guess right about whether you can carry there legally, go there carrying and bam, find out you were wrong and off we go - wheeeeee!

Yeah, spur of the moment attendance, no chance to research and you don't know the status - well no one said life is easy....

Again though, I avoid going to bars or happening booze and food joints, but that's me.

Thus, I rarely have to disarm when out and about. Post office and most hospitals yeah, everywhere else for the most part are ok with me carrying.

If one 'knows' that carrying at a bar is a 'no-no', I wouldn't. Unless you like to risk your LTC and take the ride.

I really don't need a sign.

I already know the rules with or without it.

Observing the rules is part of being grown-up.

Sidewalk lawyering about signs and/or their absence or presence is ...silly and comes with consequences.

Nor would I bother sticking my nose into the business's business.

If they fail to post a sign it's not my business to tell them they must or presume I can carry, cuz (with my bottom lip sticking out) theirs no stinkin sign. Please, you know better...

Coulda fooled me.

I'm under the impression if it's a bar selling booze for immediate consumption or a parallel - you can't carry.

Or, am I being too simplistic?

Thus, I'm not bothered by no 51% sign as I pretty certain my above regarding gin mills is on the money.

Of course, it's a moot point for me as I don't go to bars.
