Went to buy a bottle of gin, the cashier "I'm a little scared",

Me "why"

Her "the gun"

Me "it's not going to jump out and bite ya"

Her " I'm just not used to seeing non police officers carrying"

Me" if you saw more everyday folk carrying would you be less nervous"

Her " I suppose so"

Me " and that is one reason I believe in carrying like this"

Her " OK, I understand that"

Please correct me if I am wrong but isn't it illegal to carry in a liquor store? IIRC you are restricted from carry in any area that requires you to be 21 years of age or older.

We dealt with this last year.

You are not restricted from the liqueur store. You can purchase sealed bottles of alcoholic beverages while carrying.

You are restricted from places where you consume alcohol. Such as Bars and taverns.

We covered this last year and it went all the way to Olympia, and Olympia recognizes that OC is legal in the stores. I believe if memory serves it was a store in Tacoma.

Subject RCW 9.41.300 & Liquor stores

Hello Mr. S****s,
My name is Earl Hill and I’m a District Manager for the Liquor Control Board
covering the Tacoma area.
I’m responding to your concern regarding a recent shopping experience at our
retail store # 122 at 72nd and Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. I have reviewed the
incident as described and it appears that while you were shopping, a customer
initially noticed your firearm and commented that you were not allowed to have
one in the store. Our store employees overheard this and supported that you
were not allowed to carry while the store. Upon reviewing the signs posted in the
store; I have determined that the signs were meant to be advisory for our staff
and not for our retail customers. Our store employees were misinformed about
the intent of the sign and I have authorized their removal.
Let me apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We value
customer feedback and I appreciate you letting me know about this incident. Let
me know if you wish to discuss further by calling or emailing me at your
convenience.

Thank you
Earl Hill,
District Manager

Firearms are restricted at bars and taverns but not all places where one can consume alcohol. Lots of restaurants serve alcohol outside the '21 and over' area and it is fine carrying a gun in those areas.
