Another media assault on CCW permits.
http://www.artonissues.com/2012/03/...nt-owner-liabilities-and-rights-infringement/
This guy asserts legislation that allows concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit holders to bring handguns into establishments that serve alcoholic beverages potentially infringes on establishment owner’s rights and/or subjects them to liability. "Having founded and managed a place of business, I approached this legislation from the perspective of a business owner, focusing on such things as workplace liability. A list of potential legal issues was sent to attorneys with two national organizations familiar with this type of legislation: The Legal Community Against Violence and The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence." Yeah, these are totally unbiased organizations.
He goes on to spout stuff like; "Although law prohibits licensed gun owners from consuming alcohol while in possession of their firearm, gun ownership (including CCW) has been linked to heavy alcohol use, numerous instances of CCW permit holders having DWI convictions, and instances of licensed gun owners being found in possession of their firearm while intoxicated." and "A recent multi-state study published in an international peer reviewed journal on injury prevention linked gun ownership (including CCW) to heavy alcohol use." Of course he lists no supporting documentation. Why does the media continue to print junk like this?
