Not sure about where you live, but here in South Carolina our Concealed Carry Permit is fairly limited. You cannot carry in the obvious places - government buildings, schools, jails, etc. but you can also not carry in any place that serve alcohol. I am not talking about bars - I mean the bowling alley, the state fair or any restaurant that serves beer and wine or has a full bar - if you are drinking or not. In my opinion this needs to change. Some places make sense, some places just need far more specific laws. I am fully in favor of not carrying is you are fall down drunk in a bar...but come on!

Georgia: Right-to-Carry bill moves to House panel
