There are many reasons to be in a bar and not drinking. As you say, a designated driver. A band member or roadie. Picking up your drunk brother-in-law. A salesman doing business with the establishment.

It is ridiculous to make carrying a weapon there a felony per se. It is one of those lingering moralistic laws from the Prohibition era.
Also the "blue laws" enacted by religious extremists. Some are still on the books, like the laws treating Sunday different for alcohol sales.
