So I just went to Grand-Cru liquor store on N. May and Britton and noticed they have a brand new, big no gun sign in their window.
Now I do not have my license yet, but have turned in my paperwork some time ago and am expecting my license any time now.
I am trying to get into the habit of looking for the gun busters and not supporting those businesses (I know I'll get a ration for it, but I went ahead and bought what I needed there)
So while checking out I had a conversation with the 2 guys checking me out. I asked...is that a new "no gun" sign on the door, and one of the guys said "sure is"
I said, trying to approach the conversation kind of light hearted...."well that makes me sad, I don't want to have to find another place to go, why did you guys put that up?"
Then the other guy chimed in and said, "there was a new law that passed and in it it said that you can not carry in liquor stores anyway"
I said, believe it or not, thats actually not true, the law says you can not carry into a business whose primary business is the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of alcohol.
He repeated again...no it says in the law that you can't carry into liquor stores. At this point, I could tell he was getting kind of defensive.
So I said, "well I have actually read the law several times, and I could have sworn it says the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of, but I'll have to look into that."
The guys said, yeah well ok, and just turned and walked away.
So I went to the car and grabbed my SDA book and a copy of the "Letter to Businesses" and went back inside.
The guy that said liquor stores were included in the law was no longer up front, but the other guy was, so I got his attention and showed him the SDA book.
I showed him where it said consumed and not sale, he was pretty unresponsive and was just like, "oh, ok, I didn't know that"
I gave him a copy of the letter to businesses and left.
So...all that being said...anyone know of any liquor stores that are not posted?
I have not done a lot of looking around at other places, but would like to find a place like Grand Cru that has a good selection and is carry friendly.
