Nobody has ever been able to post a link to a LA law that says anything about a % of booze sales.
There is no law regarding firearms and the % of alcohol sales.
That law is "Consent to search"
RS 14:95.4[align=justify]§95.4. Consent to search; alcoholic beverage outlet [/align] [align=justify]A. Any person entering an alcoholic beverage outlet as defined herein, by the fact of such entering, shall be deemed to have consented to a reasonable search of his person for any firearm by a law enforcement officer or other person vested with police power, without the necessity of a warrant. [/align] [align=justify]B. For purposes of this Section, "alcoholic beverage outlet" means any commercial establishment in which alcoholic beverages of either high or low alcoholic content are sold in individual servings for consumption on the premises, whether or not such sales are the primary purpose or are an incidental purpose of the business of the establishment. [/align] [align=justify]C. An "alcoholic beverage outlet" licensed to sell firearms or containing an indoor shooting gallery shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section in those areas designated for the sale of firearms or the shooting gallery. [/align] [align=justify]D. An "alcoholic beverage outlet" shall not include a restaurant if a majority of its gross receipts are from sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages. [/align] [align=justify]E. The owner of the alcoholic beverage outlet shall post a sign, at or near the entrance, that states that by the fact of entering these premises a person shall be deemed to have consented to a reasonable search of his person for any firearm by a law enforcement officer or other person vested with police power, without the necessity of a warrant. [/align] [align=justify]Added by Acts 1983, No. 524, §1.[/align][align=justify]This is the one about firearms in an "Alcoholic Beverage Outlet":[/align]
RS 14:95.5
[align=justify]§95.5. Possession of firearm on premises of alcoholic beverage outlet [/align] [align=justify]A. No person shall intentionally possess a firearm while on the premises of an alcoholic beverage outlet. [/align] [align=justify]B. "Alcoholic beverage outlet" as used herein means any commercial establishment in which alcoholic beverages of either high or low alcoholic content are sold in individual servings for consumption on the premises, whether or not such sales are a primary or incidental purpose of the business of the establishment. [/align] [align=justify]C. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to the owner or lessee of an alcoholic beverage outlet, or to an employee of such owner or lessee, or to a law enforcement officer or other person vested with law enforcement authority acting in the performance of his official duties. [/align] [align=justify]D. Whoever violates the provisions of this Section shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both. [/align] [align=justify]Acts 1985, No. 765, §1.
[/align]The two are worded very similar except there's no mention about "majority of gross receipts" in the firearms ordinance. No doubt a deliberate omission. Wouldn't do to give police carte blanche to jack up patrons of Commander's Palace now would it?
