A couple of possibilities and a question

[kw5kw]

1) you see anywhere in Deep Ellum that isn't? you know of many clubs that AREN'T 51%
2) everyone on here has deplored the vile Taco Cabana, which is still, delicious
3) duh. that one was obvious.

I guess that I've passed that stage of life by some three decades ago.

I can't remember when (as in date) was when I last stepped into a bar (51% business). I remember which bar it was, but not when. I went there to pick up a person who was over their limit not for a drink.

I don't drink anywhere except for an occasional beer or a glass of wine at home. (I'll resend that, just by a bit. This past September, the wife and I toured Coors in Golden, Colorado. They offered us a small 'dixie cup' sample. I drank it; and that was in public.)

guess I can no longer go to... see the High School Football team.

Uh, yeah, thats right. You can't. They don't have to post to keep you out. I would highly recommend you not press this particular issue.

too bad each of those I listed were places you can't carry. then maybe you'd have something behind your snide comment.

Excuse me? You posted:

guess I can no longer go to a club to see a band play, or buy some delicious Tacos, or go see the High School Football team.

1) go to a club to see a band: Yes you can unless they post or meet 51%
2) buy some delicious tacos: Yes you can unless they post or meet 51%
3) see the High School Football team: No you can't, EVER, per Texas law

Your three examples don't coalesce.

1) you see anywhere in Deep Ellum that isn't? you know of many clubs that AREN'T 51%

Most clubs are probably going to fall under the 51% rule. I live in McKinney, and we have a music venue that I believe would be legal to carry. The venue has a restaurant with a bar and they serve food and alcohol in the restaurant, and they have an enclosed "patio style" bar with a stage. The patio area not only has a bar but also has tables and serves food from the restaurant side of the business. The bands play out on the enclosed patio area. The entire operation is under one roof, and the TABC license is for the entire premises. The business is in McKinney, which does not allow 51% bars, and there are no 51% signs posted.

I am assuming that one could go to see a band at this place and legally carry concealed, even if you only visited the "bar area" to see the band, because the entire premises is under 1 TABC license and they derive 51% of more of their sales from non-alcohol items.

If the police (or a TABC official, who like to hang out in that particular location) made contact with you at that premises and discovered that you were carrying with a CHL and you had consumed an alcoholic beverage who knows what would happen, I guess it would depend on the individual officer's discretion.

the best part is, ya'll missed the point of what I was saying.
I was saying that I couldn't go anywhere ('specially Taco CabanaRama) cause I couldn't carry.
once again, a risk vs. benefit thing. I mean, you can always leave it in the car, park up front by the door, or get a valet.......

Gee, we always get on something you say...

Sorry, but I'd never leave my gun in a car and then let a valet park it!
