i live in a dry county. they sell alcohol within the city limits of small town and all places that serve alcohol are within those city limits as well. i've opened carried into a particular restaurant many times. last time was in fact there were 2 uniformed LEO''s eating dinner a few tables away and they made no contact with me. my wife went to this same eating joint yesterday afternoon for dinner with 2 of her co-workers and she looked at the table next to them and an older couple was drinking wine they brought in.
question:
the NC statute prohibiting firearms at places where alcohol is served states:
Any establishment where alcoholic beverages are both sold and consumed
seems to me if you can carry into a grocery store where alcohol is SOLD, but not consumed, you are still legal if you carry into a restaurant where alcohol is CONSUMED but not sold.
thoughts?
