He brandished a firearm.
If you unconceal your firearm you are no longer carrying concealed.
What if he dropped it while moving it and shot the op's wife?
What if he ended up robbing the place, what if he got drunk and into an argument with someone and shot them.
Alcohol and firearms don't mix besides the moving it part.
If he has to use that gun in self defense and has alcohol in his system then he would most likely be living his days out behind bars.
There is bad news written all over this.
....
I turn to see a guy IN THE BAR pulling a small handgun from an IWB holster and putting it in his front pocket.
Gotta say I would have thought the guy would have done that "outside the bar" considering it's illegal but to do it IN the bar??? ...Wondering, what would you have done?
Just Jim If you carry it in an IWB and can take it out and put in your pocket I'm sure someone would notice you waving that Johnson around. When I saw the header for this thread I was reminded of the dyslexic man that walked into a bra.
As previously stated...in WA possession in a bar is illegal. IMO, guns & alcohol don't mix.Its. 1942...........
..........three Germans walk into a BAR............
I carry where ever I am at. I don't care. I have dropped my little P3AT on a bathroom floor at the OUTBACK once. Oh well. It is stupid to think the founders did NOT put the amendments in the order they did for a reason. They did not write the BOR down on little pieces of paper and then draw the order from a hat. The 2nd trumps the 10th. Except for that whole ' A mans home is his castle' thing, other than that your place of business or any other place is fair game. And as far as stupid laws go, like you cant have a gun in the 21 and over only section of a bar, but sitting with your family in the dining section and ordering a beer or two from the bar is just fine...seems stupid. And for the peanut gallery who is about to type, "you cant drink with a gun on" STFU! yes you can, you just cant be intoxicated. I have worn a gun into the post office, hospital, library, out house and just about everywhere else. Its concealed for Christs sake. Like your Johnson, you don't take it out in public and play with it do you? Same for your pistolaI'm siting in a bar enjoying Happy Hour with my wife when she motions in back of me and says "Look!"

When the guy put it in his pocket I told the wife "It's in his pocket so lets finish and leave". I thought about walking up to him and saying "If you get caught you'll lose the right to carry" but I figured it wasn't worth the possible confrontational blow-up so I paid the check and we left.
Wondering, what would you have done?
Whoa, you're beginning to sound like a typical anti-gun person. I'm pretty sure you don't mean to. You've got no reason to believe that anything bad is about to happen just because someone orders a beer while CCing. Drinking beer in a bar while CCing is legal in Oregon. I imagine lots of people do so every day. Yet, I can't remember ever hearing about a shooting in a bar in Oregon unless it was being held up and the customers responded. Get a grip, Dude!I've carried in bars/restaurant bars before. But i'm not a big drinker if I do drink it's one or two beers never enough to lose judgement, but just like driving with my child in the car one beer is too many.
I probably wouldn't call the cops, but I would let the manager know if nothing else so they can keep an eye on him. Make it his decision to call the cops and leave me out of the police report.
I would have gotten my wife and/or child out immediately once he ordered a beer.
You don't know whether that guy in just a regular cowboy, or he's gearing up to go home and kill his family.
Too many nut jobs out there. Everyday there's a murder/suicide it seems.
I knew a family that the dad came home and blew his brains out in front of his wife and kids. I felt so bad for those poor kids. Just 4 and 6.
Just never know.
That is the kind of guy that makes all of us look bad. Is he drinking?
Is he robbing the place or is he just incredibly stupid?
It's a CONCEALED carry license!!
Showing it in public is breaking the law plain and simple.
If you need to move your firearm do it in the car or go to the bathroom. Or sit in a booth or in the back of a table where your back isn't visable, personally you shouldn't sit where your back is to the door or others.
If he was drinking I might have called the cops. For no other reason than he's an idiot and going to do something stupid to give the anti's more ammo.
I gotta say that I regularly go to the movies and even though they have a huge "no guns" sign, I can easily conceal a full size 1911 and an extra mag. I refuse to go to the movies naked. I have also had a beer while carrying but only 1 and not in a bar because I would hate to lose my 2nd amendment rights because I was stupid
I'm ashamed of this but I'll admit it.
While waiting for our table to be cleared at the local bar my wife put her arm around me and whispered in my ear "is that your gun or are you just happy to see me?".
Holy crap!
Yep, I'm that guy.
I quietly excused myself to the parking lot and locked my .45 up in the safe under the drivers seat.
Took my belt and holster off too. Just amazed I didn't feel it. +1 for DeSantis SOB holster I guess!
