I sure wish our neighbors to the west would clarify their resturant carry rules & post signs at the ones you can carry in.

Diners at a Garcia's restaurant in northwest Albuquerque lost their appetites after a customer attacked another inside the restaurant at lunchtime Sunday.
Police say Christopher Torres walked into the restaurant and saw another customer, John Garcia, sitting at a table eating with his family.
Garcia had a gun on his hip, in a holster. Torres saw this, announced to everyone that he was a DEA agent and said he had video evidence that Garcia was planning to rob the restaurant.
Torres then attacked Garcia, hitting him and trying to get the gun. The gun fell on the floor, a customer grabbed it, and then put it in the manager's office.
Other customers helped restrain Torres until police arrived.
Police say Torres suffers from mental issues. He was arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment. He will now face several felony charges.
Garcia was also arrested because he was not allowed to take his loaded gun into a place that sells liquor.
