Sounds like fine upstanding citizens.

What's even more confusing is the carry laws and signs citing the law that are displayed by businesses. There is one that prohibits open carry even by those with license in a business if they post the sign. Some signs are so obscured and not in correct format that it is way too easy to walk into a store and be in violation. There is also a 51% sign that I've only seen once. It has something to do with even a license holder can't carry at all in an establishment that derives 51% of revenue from booze sales/consumption (or so I believe is how it is written).
My understanding is that the 30.06 and 30.07 signs have to be prominently displayed near the entrance in contrasting colors with at least 1" tall letters. If they don't have them posted like that, then you can probably get off (assuming a good lawyer).

I think I've seen a 51% sign <5 times, but then I don't go to that many bars. Hmm, I thought it was bars (consumed) but not places like liquor stores.
