I don't drink. A sixpack will last me a decade, no exaggeration, maybe two, but I don't have anything against responsible drinking. I swig down a brewski any darn time I want, excepting where inappropriate. The mood to pop a top just rarely strikes.
Besides, as I tell my kids, sobriety ain't half bad when you consider the alternatives.
But hearing about 100 unarmed shooting victims, fatalities plus injuries, in a bar made me think there are worse things than peaceable, law abiding armed citizens in drinking places.
I agree, though, letting guns into bars is something easy to heckle. Driving away from bars is probably a lot worse than peacefully carrying a gun into a bar, but for some reason we're going to keep letting people do that. I guess the argument is the same as the one for guns in bars - people can be responsible.

Re: NRA stance on bars and guns?
I'm amazed at the misquoting of the NRA. Seems like I've gotten NRA-ILA email lately calling for no guns for anyone on terror watch lists. The only thing they ask is for due process and a way to get off for those who aren't supposed to be on the list.
Isn't that what the NRA really wants, along with other things like arresting those who should not have guns who try to buy them?
If banning guns in bars because a designated sheepdog might start drinking like a fish, why do they allow bars to have parking lots? Sounds like that would just encourage people to keep and bear automobiles at a bar.
Heck, I've even seen bars where they paint lines in the parking lot, essentially encouraging children too young to park accurately to come on in and drink themselves senseless. THE CHILDREN!!! BAN PARKING LOTS!!!
