I read this in the Eau Claire "Leader-Fishwrap" today. I'll paraphrase what I saw.
An Eau Claire city councilman is proposing a city law that will require bars and restaurants that serve alcohol to post a 5" x 7" sign on their entrance that states "Guns and alcohol don't mix!"
The councilman stated in the article that although the new CC law states that it is illegal to consume alcohol while carrying a firearm, the wording is buried deep within the legal text and may be easily overlooked by people. The councilman also stated that people who carry guns regularly might forget that they're not allowed to drink while carrying, and that they might casually stop at a bar or restaurant for a cocktail while carrying, and thus be in violation of the new law. He intends these signs to serve as a public safety reminder to all us morons with guns to abstain from alcohol while carrying.
The short article is in the Wednesday, September 21 edition of the Leader Telegram.
