Here in Colorado I can legally CCW into a bar and even have a drink ... the law states that it is illegal for me to be armed and "under the influence", but doesn't say I can't sit in a bar and drink soda or have a drink with dinner.
I can understand laws against packing while drunk, but just being in a bar shouldn't be illegal any more than it should be illegal for those licensed to drive to be in a bar.
I think there is more to this then that. People who drink and drive do it under the assumption that they are fine. We all know alcohol impares judgement. So this is probably along those lines. We know it isn't smart to DUI, yet it had to be made into Law because some just don't care otherwise (and still). Imagine if only 10% of bar goers where armed, and drinking, because it was allowed. I would imagine there would be a lot more gun related incidents due to poor judgement and bad tempers.
