Confused and need confirmation

If I'm reading the law correctly then if a person has a CPL they can open carry in an establishment with a license to sell liquor. Such as restaurants with a separate bar section (Applebees et al) or party stores that sell liquor. The law does not stipulate that "concealed carry" is required.

Correct?

Sometimes reading and rereading the convoluted laws gives me a headache.

At a business that makes the majority of its money selling alcohol for on premises consumption, (a bar) a CPL holder is REQUIRED to open carry, if carry at all. The same goes for all of the other concealed carry free zones, which I call criminal empowerment zones.

At liquor licensed establishments where you can't drink on site, or where they make only a small margin of profit on booze, a CPL holder may OC or CC.

If you don't have a CPL, or if you aren't carrying it and your license, don't carry ANYWHERE that sells booze.

As Michigander stated. With a CPL you can CC in a place that sells liquor by the glass if their liquor sales are not the majority of their total sales. So most family restaurants like Applebees you can conceal. If you have a CPL you can OC in ANY place that has a liquor license.

Thank you for clearing up my confusion! I thought that is what the law meant.

Dang legalesse! Sometimes after reading more than 2 sections, with subsections, of law my brain starts emitting sparks and just locks up.
