Once again........

Here in Indiana, we have the right to defend ourselves if, (and these are not verbatim quotes) :

1. You feel that your life is in danger.
2. You feel that you will suffer bodily harm.
3. You are defending your property.

And that's it, in a nutshell.

During a previous conversation, we discussed the ability to carry in bars and/or bars & grills in Indiana. Several questions came from that, but I'll give you one that happened to me over the weekend.

I'm at a bar, sober, eating some chicken and drinking my first beer. An old (but not cherished) friend of mine comes up.........drunk off his ass.........and slaps me on the back. I knew who it was so I turn around and say, "Hey man, how ya doing."

"Good man, Good! You? Lemme buy you a shot!"

"No thanks, man. I'm eating and watching the game."

He starts to grab me around the waist to pick me up out of the chair to give me a hug, and then feels the mags and the weapon itself. Put's me back down.

"Holy : censored . You strapped, Bro?"

"Yea"

"Why, man?!? I just beat people up with these! These TWO fists! I make 'em bleed and then walk away, smiling."

"That's why I carry this. They walk up with two fists.........and then I walk away while they bleed."

He got a surprised look on his face, and then he just.........walked away.

Granted; Drunk "friend" of mine. But he got the picture. Never saw him again for the rest of the night.

Drunks in bars?

Nah, tell me ain't so joe:rolf

We can't carry in an establishment that serves alcohol in Az for a reason. This related story reinforces why that law is in effect.

Just joined your "Threat Focused" forum, but I'll read for a while before I post.

Very good stuff there.

Glad you've found your way over, think you'll find some of the information there of value.

In Florida, you can carry in places that serve alcohol. The restriction is on places that serve MOSTLY alcohol.
The bar section of a restraunt is off limits, but a booth in the bar area is fine, if you're eating. Have a drink if you want, just don't sit at the bar.

Makes as much sense as most gun laws.......
