Looks like he is putting himself in bad situations. I agree with train for the worst but if you think you will need a gun there DON'T go there.
I carry everywhere I'm legally able to. Come Oct. 1 many more places become "carry" places. Here in NC they just voted in a bill that would allow Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) holders to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol (previously outlawed). But CHP holders are not allowed to drink while they are carrying.
We frequent a couple restaurants that serve alcohol and after Oct. 1 I'll be able to carry there. My strongest drink is iced tea so it's not a problem for me.
And you never know when trouble could find you. With the way the economy is and people becoming more and more desperate, you just never know when even safe places aren't so safe anymore. Thugs are predators and when they see an opportunity they'll strike no matter where you are.
