When I read it, it read as you implied ignore the law because it wasn't convenient, regardless. But I'll add this, if you walk into a restaurant that happens to sell booze, or even has a small bar.........fagancarco wrote:What is it, exactly that you object to?Skiprr wrote:Seriously?fagancarco wrote:Don't sweat it.

If you weapon is as concealed as it should be, you won't have a problem. If it's not...better get out fast and be more careful next time.
I mean, seriously?
Don't you agree that the carrier should have checked the signage more carefully before being seated, even though it was posted in the wrong place?
Or do you think he should jump up and run out when he's 20 minutes into his meal, even though the signs were posted in the wrong place? (I'm reading his post to say that the sign was not at the door.)
51% signs have to be the most misunderstood and misused signs in the state. 51% means the "establishment" derives at least 51% of it's sales revenue from the sale of alcohol for on premises consumption. That also means there's likely sales tax implication if they exceed certain sales which is why you'll see some "bars" try to establish food sales or other non-booze related business as well.
A true 51% establishment should not be hard to identify. A bar, pool hall etc., some place where it's likely and probable that the majority of what people go there for is to drink. There are restaurants I've known that had huge happy hour and "social" business that battled to keep the right balance of food and booze and were regularly monitored by the local municipality for sales tax reasons. They would run big appetizer specials or some other kind of promotion to get people to buy more food. If you really aren't sure, go look for their liquor license. That is the 1 thing that should make you stay or run like heck for the front door.
