The "OMG GUNS IN BARS !!!!!!!" folks are just trying to scare people. The reality is that nothing will change.
The people who get concealed carry permits are not a crime problem, period. Their crime rate is roughly equal to that of police officers.
To be clear for those that may have missed it: IT IS STILL ILLEGAL TO DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE CARRYING.
Business owners are able to prohibit carrying on their property, (because that worked out so well in Aurora CO).

Do you proposeoo metal detectors at the dr? Bad guys don't obey the law and they certainly don't obey gunbusters signs, which don't carry much more than the threat of a trespassing cite.

A local bar use to have an "Urban Nite" and they did bring out metal detectors at the door for those nights..
