Problem with calling is you're now giving them the ability to verbally tell you you can't carry. Why even open that door? My suggestion is to simply show up armed as you normally would. If you see a 30.06 or correct 51% sign you can excuse yourself to go disarm in the car. Usually I'd say not to even frequent such an establishment, but I understand sometimes it can't be helped when with a group.

Bottom line, don't call to ask, most places though not posted would probably tell you you can't carry as a standard response.

So true! I did not consider it. I will follow you guys' advice. Thank you!

Re: Carry in restaurant with bar...

I faced a similar dilemma this past week. I checked the restaurant's website and it said nothing about 30.06. I decide not to carry. Upon entering the restaurant there were no signs at all, not even the "Unlicensed possession" sign. Kicked myself all through dinner. Arrived at sunset, but left at 9 pm. I was not happy going to my vehicle in the dark, even with other passengers, since I was the DD.
