can you carry a pistol in a bar?

[bronson3304]

is it within my rights to carry my pistol in a local bar?

 

[DarkRose]

AFAIk Indiana has no law preventing it. However, bars can post their own rules, and tresspass issues apply.

 

[ATM]

Yes, it's legal, but your "right" to be there may be revoked at any time.

Yes, it's legal, but your "right" to be there may be revoked at any time.

...and with a valid LTCH, obviously.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

You can carry in a bar
You can carry in a car

You can carry with your friend Sam
You can carry with your friend Pam

You don't need to use a crutch
You just need a valid LTCH!

Just don't get drunk and let it fall out of the holster in front of the owner. True story, wasn't me but I saw it happen lol

 

[Mechy]

I'll bet that was entertaining

A female bartender once told me that you were supposed to check your weapons with the bouncer/doorman.

I don't get it. What's the punch line?

 

[Boost Lee]

Lol @ eldirector.

Legal yes, but choose wisely how and what you do in this bar.
Obviously only YOU know your own control on alcohol,
So if you dare mix alcohol and carrying a firearm... You damned well better be concealing or
Being very tasteful on how much you drink.

Again, still no "policy" on mixing the two... But you may risk and destroy your public perception on being a responsible gun owner.

and/or be figuratively crucified at your trial should ANYTHING happen post-bar that would require the use of your firearm.

Bingo! Although, they may even try to go for the literal crucifixion.

I've seen it happen at King of Clubs, across the street from Navistar.

Saw a guy try at 745 Pub, on Mass. Ave., and bartender about peed his pants.

Carrying in a bar has dramatically reduced the amount I drink when we go out. It has also made me much more patient with belligerent 21 year olds. As stated by others, you have to know yourself and approach everything in life with a carefully considered state of mind when you carry.

Get a good holster, that will free up your balance hand

 

[MilitaryArms]

I always carry in bars. It's where you're most likely to need a weapon.

But then I don't drink.
