I've only been to one bar that was probably really a 51% location in the last 25-30 years and that was earlier this year.recaffeination wrote:If it's a 51% bar that posts a 51% sign (red sign) then the unlicensed warning sign (blue sign) is redundant, but I think it's still literally true. That's the penalty for unlicensed carry
"Red" 51% signs (which are the only red/51% ones that exist), are for bars -- places that receive 51% or more from the sale of alcohol for on-premises consumption. "Blue" unlicensed possession signs are for place that sell alcohol in any form or percentage that don't meet the requirement for the red sign. (In other word, less than 51% on-premesis consumption). The blue sign applies to restaurants, grocery stores, liquor stores, big-box stores, convenience stores, etc.
Hope it's clear now...
