I was at a casual dining restaurant tonight enjoying some beers. Then my wife taps me a few times and tells me the the guy sitting to her left is carrying, sure enough about 4" of a barrel are peaking out under his sweater, then I also notice he's about 1/2 way done with a tall 22 OZ beer... Long story short, he had at least 3 talls so almost a six pack.
Now i'm all for carrying, concealed or open. I'm in the process of getting my IN LTCH. I'm still a new resident of IN and have been carrying here as a ND resident with a ND and UT CCW permit. I've always thought that you can't carry inside a bar. You can carry inside a restaurant as long as you're not drinking. I don't know this guys situation/job, didn't want to ask him about anything and possibly put him on the spot, but logic tells me, if you're carrying, and forced to use it and god forbid the police report or bar records show that you've been drinking prior to using deadly force, that's not going to work out in your favor in court. What are your guys' thoughts??
