Laws for Carrying Where Alcohol is Served

January 11, 2016

Minnesota allows restaurant carrying, provided that an individual will just sit and eat and will not consume alcohol. “Restaurant carrying” means carrying a firearm inside a place that serves alcohol provided. This may or may not mean that you are allowed to sit at the bar area of the restaurant. For most states, sitting at the bar area is illegal.

Some places post “No Gun” signs to prohibit guests from carrying their guns including Red Lobster and Friday’s. This means you should not enter if you want to carry your firearm with you.

Nationalcarryacademy.com recommends that you should not drink alcohol while carrying a handgun, because some states consider taking just a single drink as illegal already. Check the laws of your state to learn more about the restrictions.
