It's about time. Now if the few remaining states that do not allow CC will wise up, I can travel anywhere without breaking the law!

Indiana will now allow CC in bars. Don't know if that is good or bad. I know it's not good to mix alcohol and firearms!

Already covered in two different threads. IL was the last state to adopt it so there are no remaining states, there are only the few may-issue states that need to become shall-issue.

Oh, apparently IL doesn't even have the manpower to actually conduct background checks on CC applicants. Oh well, fat lot of good it does anyway.

There's no difference between carrying in bar and carrying at home while someone else is having a beer while watching TV. So long as the person with the gun is not drinking there's no problem.

Yeah, if you are drinking at a bar and have a firearm you should have to turn it in to the barman and collect it when you leave. Tried and true.

Agreed. For myself and many of my friends, we share two hobbies: firearms and microbrews. We often get together to shoot, discuss firearms and techniques, reloading and get the opportunity to try firearms others own. We follow all the safety rules, and as soon as a top is popped all the toys are made safe and cased. It is not unusual to have a dozen or so people setting up my home range and a beer pong table on the front porch at the same time. Coolers and magazines are often loaded side by side, but never the twain shall meet.

People have been drinking with firearms for as long as they have existed, I see no problem with it.

Yea until a fat drunk batage shoots you in the ass for not laughing at his lame ass joke. Then because you got shot in the ass, you will never live it down.
