Guns in Bars: big GOP goal or big GOP nightmare???
Guns in public, guns in church, guns on campus, guns in schools, guns openly carried to public rallies or political events - so why not in bars, right?
STORY here from Ohio:
[snip] ... Republican-controlled state houses across the country appear to be touting a new motto: Allow guns everywhere. At the urging of the gun lobby, state legislatures are welcoming firearms into parks, schools, government buildings, university campuses, churches, and day-care centers.
[snip] ... Ohio’s GOP-led house contributed to the nonsensical effort with a bill that allows Ohioans with concealed-carry permits to bring a gun into a bar, restaurant, or “open air arena” like a sports stadium that serves alcohol. The reasoning? Ohioans should be able to protect themselves.
This "rationale" which is NOT rational at all is madness, shear and utter madness. It's worse than the GOP kowtowing to "cut taxes for the rich and upper crust," they will create jobs.

Nothing wrong with open carry laws, but in the interest of safety they ought not be allowed in establishments that serve alcohol. There's enough trouble with barfights as it is, a gun would quickly accelerate the tussle beyond any sembelence of control (as controlled as bar fights are concerned).
Sometimes I think when you create a "No Gun Zone" you have created a "Free Fire Zone" for somebody that wants to kill for whatever reason. Check out some YouTube by NutnFancy, He explains it good.
