Good luck with that one! It might suffice as an argument in a civil suit long after you've been killed due to being unarmed in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sure plenty of places, especially corporate chains, will ban guns and say it's for insurance purposes. It's starting to get some news coverage here now that it's been signed, but it was kind of under the radar until about a week ago. Some of these restaurant owners must be CA transplants. Their comments on the tv news are just assinine. "Guns and booze don't mix" or "It's the wild west all over again." Do they really think CCW's have always been leaving their guns in their cars when going into these restaurants and are now looking for a gunfight in a bar? Such idiots. I will continue to carry anywhere I don't see a metal detector.
BTW, I saw an incident at the DMV in April that made me wish I had ignored their "no-guns" signs. This woman went nuts and started screaming at all of us standing on line. I was sure she was coming back there with a gun. No cops, no security guards there to do anything about it.
