I hope this don't backfire on them. My opinion: Alcoholic & Guns don't mix.

Why would it? Responsible gun owners can enjoy food legally. The law prohibits consumption of alcohol, which I disagree with. Other gun owners may have been already in the bar illegally and possibly consuming alcohol.

I open carry to the bar every Friday for lunch and beer or two. Never had a problem.

[Statkowski]

Yeah, wouldn't want those Buckeyes to have bar shoot-outs all the time like we do here in Pennsyltucky.

Then again, if we don't have a problem here, why should they have a problem there?

True! I was just thinking about the people that go there to get hammered.
Well, we can hope they have some common scene.

good for Ohio.

I'll be going to grab some beer and hanging out with some friends here in a bit all while I'm carrying!

[God's Country]

Why would it backfire? Like it has in Pa?

Good for them! Banning firearms in bars is no different then banning them in McDonald's. Assholes with guns are assholes sober or drunk. I'd like to protect myself from assholes.

edit:

The law also prohibits gun owners from consuming alcohol or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they carry their weapons into bars.

Never mind. I guess they still have a way to go!

Way to go O-Hi-O.

The comments in that article make it painfully obvious why we have such a hard time getting laws changed in our favor. So many "gun-owners" are commenting on how this is going to lead to violence and shoot-outs in bars, and it is apparent that most people commenting didn't actually read what the law says. A lot of "why would someone go to a bar if they can't drink" responses that don't realize that this is more about carrying in restaurants and other places that serve alcohol, not just bars.

I think this is a step in the right direction for Ohio, and despite all the "this will end horribly" comments, this is probably the last you will hear about the new rules. I personally don't see a problem with carrying and having a drink or two, whether it be with dinner at a restaurant or at a bar. I know I've had the occasional drink while carrying, and I don't remember shooting anyone. The way I see it, if you can drink responsibly, why shouldn't you be able to carry responsibly?

Also, I thought I read that this law would also contained language about carrying in places of worship (churches, synagogues, etc.). Was that not mentioned in the article, or was it removed from the law, or was I just imagining the whole thing?

The EXACT same people saying these things in the comments sections are the EXACT same people who said the same thing about CCW ANYWHERE... sometimes only days apart. The same goes for the simps in the media. Every time people's rights are protected, they predict mountains of corpses. Every time they're proved to be liars.

its the uncommon scenes that i worry about. goat dancing on the bar for example can be quite disturbing.

seriously. pennsylvania has allowed guns in bars for . . . well. . . .nearly forever and we dont have a problem.

The law only allows people in OH to go into a place that serves alcohol, like Applebee's. It doesn't mean they can get hammered. Your thoughts are the same sort of garbage that people in Ceasefire and the Brady group keep crying about, and blowing way out of proportion. "They're letting people get drunk and wave guns around! There'll be shootouts at the bar!"

You should have understood what the law actually was before posting asinine comments.
