I remember residing in a previous state when it passed "bar carry" after trying for 3 consecutive legislative session against a detemined opposition. All of the major cities' newspapers were running lurid editorials proclaiming "guns and alcohol don't mix!" "There will be blood in the streets!" All the usual baloney. Actually, many of the same fears (and baloney) I read in this message thread.

I recall one major newspaper running a story after bar carry was legal for one year where it had the integrity to point out that despite all the fears leading up to the bill's passage, the reality was a total non-event. There were no troubles, no blood in the street, no drunken brawls involving CHL's. They admitted the fear campaign was completely unfounded.

There is no doubt in my mind that Texas CHL's able to carry in all locations--including bars--will similarly be a total non-problem.
