(a) A peace officer.

(b) A correctional officer while going armed in the line of duty.

what you want is 941.237(3)(g)

(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to any of the following:
(g) the possession or use of a handgun on the premises if authorized for a specific event of limited duration by the owner or manager of the premises...

No need to ask them to make you a temporary employee. Just ask if it's OK to come in for dinner.

I have seen it done...Dont know if its legal or not.
Nobody questioned the guy,but he was part of our group
and we rode m/c's in.
Funny how some folks get real quiet around a couple guys in full leather.

See a few over deer season doin it also...Nobody questioned them either.
They all had some article of Blaze on so it was pretty safe to they were huntin and stopped in for cold one/warm up.
