End of OC in Starbucks?

Quit putting the cart before the horse. This will NOT affect us here in WI for some time. They are going to do it on a trial basis in some of the big cities first.

Just relax. We don't have to worry about it today.

Right now we need to concentrate on the ELECTION!

Consider the liability following such an invitation enabled by an entity with no membership control.

Who would be liable for an incident involving an openly carried weapon? Who would be liable for an incident involving a weapon openly carried by a member of the sponsor of the signage?

Choice carry doesn't have many membership controls either. ( except for no felons, age restrictions ) Would the state be liable?
We all can be sued for just about anything these days. On one hand we advocate choice carry. We have a list of businesses on another thread that won't let people OC. WCI is involved in several lawsuits. Then we discover we could be sued if we try to protect ourselves with the same weopons that we advocate to have in our possession.
There are risks in everything we do.

Dunno where you guys get some of these ideas/numbers.

City of Milwaukee Class B Tavern (On premise, liquor, beer & wine) is $610/year.

Wine or Beer alone is only $110 / yr.

Waukesha isn't all that dissimilar.

A municipality has a given number of licenses it can grant. When populations go up, more licenses can be issued, but the new licenses are subject to the $10,000 reserve license fee.

If the muni is under its "cap" of licenses, there is no $10K fee. (ie if JoeBob's Saloon goes out of businessa nd surrenders its license, McX could pick up that license for the ~ $100 a year....but if the city's allotment of licenses is used up...and the city has grown enough to justify an additional license...someone's gotta pop for the $10K).
