North Carolina now allows for CWP holders to attend places where alcohol is served but they cannot consume it. Cue the Freaky Nannies who are busy placing Gun Free Zones in their locales because…you now, them signs are force fields against bad intentions. And of course, there is always one idiot who cannot seem to understand the concept of hypocrisy.
“I just wonder what else the legislature is wasting their time on,” Blue Horn Lounge owner Tim Wood said, “with all the problems we have now.”

I regularly act as the Designated Driver for my group of friends (we take turns, hence “regularly”). Among other things, this means I have more than a little say in where we go. If I don’t feel welcome, my group (looking to spend a few hundred dollars) and I won’t be coming to your place.
I may not be buying, but I do get to decide where everyone else buys. Business owners like this can go pound sand.

I’m glad we don’t have that type of crap law in PA. We have that type of crap thoughts though- starting with our AG
I have enough practice making bad decisions. I don’t need help from alcohol.
[…] the latest state to allow carrying where alcohol is served. Pants shitting hysteria ensues. Meanwhile, in other states (i.e., the majority) where this is law, nothing […]
