Just wondering if your spending a night out on the town having a few drinks are you still allowed to carry?

 

[boricua]

It's illegal in NC.

 

[QKShooter]

In Pennsylvania. Yes, it is legal to do so.

 

[Nicksta038]

What about in New Hampshire?

 

[bandit383]

Every state has different laws/rules...try handgunlaws or google the state on CCW rules.

Not in AR!

As a former waiter, I'd refuse to serve alcohol to anyone that was open carrying. It'd be irresponsible of me. Now, I personally wouldn't do it, but I have no problem with anyone having a drink while carrying.

 

[RETSUPT99]

In FL one can have a drink and carry, just not in the bar part of a restaurant (as in the restaurant part of Applebee's)...but you can't sit in the bar part of a Applebee's to have a burger without drinking and be armed.
Don't know who wrote that law, but it beats a lot of other states.

 

[TerriLi]

I find it varies by state, and Retsupt becareful on that one. There has been a LEO and Judge that interpret that part a little differantly.

Do you have a cite for that? I'd be interested in reading about that. The statute is very clear as I read it.

 

[JimH58]

In KY, no!

 

[TerriLi]

Dont have a cite, the guy was later found not guilty. I have family in law enforcement, and it got passed around the LEO's. Thats how I know about it. But the guy was charged, and went to trial I do know, and found not guilty.

What was the beef? Was he at the bar and carrying or in the restaurant portion drinking and carrying?

 

[Im Protected]

No, and why would you?

 

[Glock30Owner]

In Tennessee, § 39-17-1321 states that you cannot be under the influence.

39-17-1321. Possession of handgun while under influence — Penalty. —

(a) Notwithstanding whether a person has a permit issued pursuant to § 39-17-1315 or § 39-17-1351, it is an offense for a person to possess a handgun while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance.

(b) A violation of this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

Yes, in Oregon. Screw it up, though, then you'll get what you get. As it should be.

 

[Pikachu711]

Here in Nevada you can be a CCW permittee and go to a bar. There is a provision for permitees who do not exceed the .10 limit all the same. They always recommend that if you are carrying a firearm that you should not be drinking alcohol. Wise advise.

 

[halfcrazy]

Yes in maine just dont o over the legal limit .08 i believe

 

[dougwg]

.02 limit for Concealed Carry in Michigan

No limit for Open Carry although Michigan has a "catch all" law and it states "under the influence" which has no amount attached to it. Therefore .000001% could get you busted and convicted if the LEO and judge/jury feels you were under the influence of alcohol.

 

[highvoltage]

What about in New Hampshire?

As you can tell by the myriad of responses, it varies from state to state. In NH you can carry where alcohol is served. Not advisable to be drinking while carrying, but not illegal in NH.
