I know we can. But does that come from a specific law I've missed or from 42.035b1 only? ie...since 42.035b1 doesn't prohibit it, it is permissible. Under that deduction you could actually sit at the bar as long as you don't drink.

If the restaurant does not qualify as a "51%" location, then they must follow the same rules as any other business regarding the licensed possession of a firearm in an establishment. They must post 30.06 compliant signs as directed by that section of the law if they wish to prohibit.

While it's considered good planning not to drink while carrying a firearm, is there any reason why you would think drinking by a CHL is prohibited?
