Laws for Carrying Where Alcohol is Served

January 11, 2016

Montana does not allow concealed carrying but allows open restaurant carrying. “Restaurant carrying” means carrying a firearm in a place that serves alcoholic beverages. This may or may not mean that sitting on the bar area of the restaurant is allowed. Open carrying is legal, but consuming alcohol when carrying is prohibited. There are restaurants that use “No Gun” signs like Friday’s and Red Lobster and entering such places with a firearm is discouraged.

Nationalcarryacademy.com strongly recommends that you should never consume alcoholic beverages and not sit on the bar area when carrying a firearm. Some states may consider both these acts as illegal, while other may not. For further information, check the laws of your state about carrying firearms on restaurants where alcohol is served.
