No guns signs

Bar/restaurant carry
It is generally illegal to carry a firearm in an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages, unless it is a a restaurant licensed to sell only beer and wine that derives more than 60% of its income from the sale of food. If the business is posted or the citizen is asked to leave/disarm, then it is a gun-free zone regardless, 30-7-3. ​

It is illegal to carry a loaded or unloaded firearm on any premises licensed for the dispensing of alcoholic beverages (bars, restaurants). An owner, lessee, tenant or operator of the licensed premises or their agent/employees are exempt. Additional exemptions:
  • A person in that area of the licensed premises usually and primarily rented on a daily or short-term basis for sleeping or residential occupancy, including hotel or motel rooms;
  • A person on that area of a licensed premises primarily used for vehicular traffic or parking (parking lot or gas station pump);
  • For the purpose of temporary display, provided that the firearm:
  1. Made completely inoperative before it is carried onto the premises and remains inoperative while it is on the premises; and
  2. Under the control of the licensee or an agent/employee (they hold your gun).

A concealed handgun licensee may carry a concealed firearm (not open carry):
  • At a licensed establishment that does not sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises (grocery, package, liquor, or convenience store);
  • A restaurant licensed to sell only beer and wine that derives no less than 60% of its annual gross receipts from the sale of food for consumption on the premises unless the restaurant has a sign posted, in a conspicuous location at each public entrance, prohibiting the carrying of firearms, or the person is verbally instructed by the owner or manager that the carrying of a firearm is not permitted in the restaurant (Figure ). You cannot carry in a restaurant with a full bar.
​
Drinking alcohol
It is illegal to carry a firearm while under the influence of an intoxicant or narcotic, 30-7-4(2). No person shall consume alcohol while carrying a concealed handgun, 10.8.2.16B.
