When a business gets m9re then 50% of their sales from on site alcohol consumption. Do they have to post a sign or something? Thanks in advance.

Why should we care? It has nothing, at all, to do with where we are allowed to carry firearms.
Also, please disregard everything in the post above. It is all completely wrong and suggests illegal activity.
"Which portion is primarily devoted to that purpose." Since the statute doesn't give us any more information we're left to read into it. The OP is relevant to where we can carry firearms legally.
OP, just do not carry into a stand-alone bar (one that is not attached to any other occupancy - and you can smoke inside) or belly up to the actual bar in a restaurant and you'll be fine.
"Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;"
This law is not clear. Can I carry in a pool hall? I've been in one where I thought the law was ambiguous. I carried anyway. When I go to outback steakhouse, can I sit in the booths near the bar, as long as I don't "belly up" to it? Can I walk through the bar area on the way to the bathroom?
Yes to all. Just stay away form the actual bar.
See, not really that hard is it?
I would agree with you and carry anyway. However, Fl Carry and Eric Friday disagree with you, and I can understand why. I can also see anti gun law enforcement interpreting this law so as to ruin my day.
Exactly what are we disagreeing to, in you view? Please be specific.
A couple years ago there was a thread in here where Sean said you could not go into the area in a restaurant that was partially enclosed by regular booths because the partial enclosure also contained a bar that you could sit at. All Outback restaurants seem to have these areas. Sean said his attorney said "No" and I say it's ambiguous. Notalaywer says "yes" as long as you don't sit down at the actual bar.
