Heck, at the last blogmeet we had at least one attendee open carrying at the brewpub.

Here is WA state, while you cannot enter the BAR section of a place that serves alcohol, you can be in the same building as the bar – so places like Applebees are not off limits while carrying.

And so frakking what, even if he weren’t lying?

In MN, it’s legal as well. The law is actually clear that .04 BAC is specifically a crime but doesn’t place any locations off limits. Huh … personal responsibility works … who’da thunk it?

In Michigan you can CC in a place that doesn’t make a majority of it’s income from alcohol sales for on premises consumption by the glass. If they make a majority of their sales this way you can still carry you just have to open carry and have a CPL (Concealed pistol license)
It’s a goofy set of laws but it does mean you can walk into a honest to potatoes bar with a gun as long as you have a CPL and are open carrying.

Tennessee is the only state? What an absolutely ridiculous, demonstrably false claim by him.
Assuming one is properly licensed, we can carry in bars here in Massachusetts. Yes, MASSACHUSETTS!! Of course, you can’t drink & carry, but definitely allowed to carry.

Well, with respect to Virginia, he is technically correct. You can open carry here in places that serve alcohol by the drink. However, legally, there is no such thing as a “bar” in this state. They are just establishments with a license to sell alcohol by the drink and, as such, all are required by law to make at least a certain percentage of their revenue from food sales.

Also, after reading something like this article, I would normally state that the author clearly either didn’t bother to do any research at all or is deliberately lying. However, in this case, with the author being a lawyer, there isn’t much doubt left in my mind which of those applies here.

That’s almost a meme in itself. If it were true, then so what? It doesn’t make something good or bad just because it’s the only one. What a stupid argument position to take.

True, true.
BTW, you can carry in bars in Oregon. “Class III” is also legal there, and you can also actually use your suppressor. Three reasons that cause Washingtonian gun nuts to contemplate moving south…
(But we’ll be closer to California, in more ways than one, is a real deterrent, though.)

More knocks on OR: a 10% top income tax rate (with the new surcharge), you can’t have any sort of sawed-off, even if you have an NFA for it, it’s illegal under OR rulz, cops are forbidden from turning in illegals to ICE…etc.etc.etc
It’s a push, DW
Oregon sux as as bad as WA, and of course, lacks the Sound and the San Juans, so WA winnz….

There are no restrictions on carry in a bar in New Hampshire. Open carry or concealed (with a permit)is no problemo.

Adam Dread is a “lawyer,” not a lawyer. He went to Nashville School of Law which isn’t accredited by the American Bar Association.
I wish he were still just a morning shock-jock on a third rate local radio station. I enjoyed him then.
