If you were a member of a private club and this establishment had a bar that was open to members only, could you carry since it is not open to the public?
Is the area marked as off limits to minors by the liquor control board?If you were a member of a private club and this establishment had a bar that was open to members only, could you carry since it is not open to the public?
RCW 9.41.300 said:(d) That portion of an establishment classified by the state liquor control board as off-limits to persons under twenty-one years of age;
I thought it was any place that served hard liqour for profit.
because beer and wine can be purchased at godfathers and pizza factory, and at Sharis and most causual to semi-nice establishments, but they allow minors in and don't sell vodka or whiskey or any of the hard stuff.
I've never seen nor hard of any place, regardless of revenue percentages, that sells anything harder then beer NOT being posted by the LCB
However after spending the better part of this morning going through RCW title 66.20, and the WACs governing private clubs, I have failed to find any loophole or contradiction that would allow you to carry a firearm in a liqour licensed club unless you're the owner or an employee who's paycheck is drawn on the club. also if you're not a member or a bona fide guest of the member the club can't sell you liqour on their license.
HOWEVER
looking at the club handbook, it appears for the purposes of the license that they consider owners of the club to be on the roster of club officers the club has to provide to the LCB, so if you happen to be a club officer I think you would be allowed to carry.... I wouldn't drink while carrying however.
