In Ohio, you cannot carry (openly or concealed) in an establishment that has a class D liquor license. Originally intended to stop people from having firearms in bars, the law also extends to most restaurants.

For instance, when Mike and I visit our favorite Thai restaurant, we cannot carry even though we only ever have tea with our pad kee mao and noodles curry. Apparently the state of Ohio believes that just being in the same room where alcohol is served will turn us into bloodthirsty, trigger-happy monsters.

Some might think, "You're just going out to eat - it's a nice little restaurant, what could possibly happen?"

What, indeed.

Shortly after midnight on May 25th, three masked gunmen robbed a restaurant in the affluent, upper middle class suburb of Solon, Ohio. Suddenly a "safe" place became a place of violence and fear - and very few options for those who were forced to disarm.

Just a few weeks ago, Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue signed legislation that extends Right-to-Carry into restaurants across the state. Of course, anti-gun politicians and opponents of Right to-Carry have been busy making the same outrageous claims we've heard for decades: It'll make restaurants more dangerous, how can we tell if someone's carrying, and on and on.

Those critics should take a look at what happened in the town of Winnemucca, Nevada not long ago.
