This is as stupid as it can get. We're going back to the wild west days. Have we lost our minds in this country? You mix alcohol with guns nothing good can come from that. It also shows the power of the gun lobby.
Under the law, backed by the National Rifle Association, the 138,350 people with concealed-weapons permits in Arizona will be allowed to bring their guns into bars and restaurants that haven't posted signs banning them.
Those carrying the weapons aren't allowed to drink alcohol.
The new law has Shields and other bar owners and workers wondering: What's going to happen when guns are allowed in an atmosphere filled with booze and people with impaired judgment?
"Somebody can pull the trigger, then a bullet comes out, and people get hurt and killed," said Brad Henrich, owner of Shady's, a popular neighborhood bar that sees occasional minor scuffles. "The idea of anyone coming in with guns in a place that serves alcohol just seems ludicrous."

As the consumption of alcohol while in possession of a firearm will remain a criminal act, it would seem as though your concern lacks a rational basis.

It is curiousy, then, that Mr. Henrich does not cite relevant statistics from the forty-one states that do in some way permit the carrying, by legally permitted civilians, of firearms in establishments where alcohol is served upon the premises that support his claim. If his prediction is viable, then he should be able to reference data showing such; if he is unable to do so, his suggestion may be untenable.
