Well, I'm totally confused now.......Carry-a-Kimber wrote:Not a gray area at all. Liquor stores and breweries are NOT licensed for on site consumption so, by law, the CAN NOT derive 51% of their income from the sale of on site consumable alcohol.AEA wrote:It doesn't. That's the point.
If I could quote the 51% statue I would, but I can't remember it exactly. But I believe it says "Sales & Consumption".
I don't think it regulates "give it away" for consumption at all.
Another example would be this.......
We all know you can carry in a Liqueur Store. But, what about a Liqueur Store that is giving free samples of wine?
Another Gray Area. One that could be eliminated with "CHL carry wherever LEO's can carry".
From TABC's website.
The second sign, the 51% sign, is to be posted on the premises of establishments where the possession of any concealed weapon is illegal. These are establishments that are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption whose alcohol sales constitutes more than half of gross receipts. These signs have 51% in large red letters superimposed over the warning and the warning notes that possession of a concealed weapon on the premises is a felony.
The point I was trying to make was the difference between sales & on site consumption and free & on site consumption.
So I'll just bow out of this thread now and let others sort it out (as I should have done in the first place).
