GreyGeek:
Carrying concealed into an eating establishment is a loaded gun, ready to go off in your face.
As many have noted before:http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=69-2441:

--- Quote ---establishment having a license issued under the Nebraska Liquor Control Act that derives over one-half of its total income from the sale of alcoholic liquor
--- End quote ---

So, when you walk into an eating establishment that also serves liquor, and it's not posted, do you expect to see a sign warning you that their liquor sales exceed 50% of their total business?  I've never seen such a sign.  Or, do you seek out the proprietor and ask him or her?  I've never heard of anyone doing that either.   And, per chance, an event happens which requires you to defend yourself (or others if you so choose) but some zealous prosecutor obtains sales info from the bar and uses it to prosecute you.   What do you do?  Never carry in eating establishments that also serve liquor even if they are not posted?

Good points, as usual.  I would just respond by saying that I'd rather be prosecuted for saving my life than not be prosecuted for having not saved my life.  There are gray areas though I suppose. 

If it's legal to go into a place that gets over half its income from alcohol with car keys in your pocket it should be legal to go into one with a gun in a holster.  After all, drunk drivers kill far more people than drunk shooters, and bearing arms is a right, while driving is a privilege (as I have been reminded of a few times).

This is one of many things that should be fixed, but will not be fixed until there is a majority of loyal Americans in our legislature.  And this is why it's important to get loyal Americans elected into the legislature: no more Democrats and no more RINOs.

88 Tactical will serve alcohol in their Founder's Club.  There is sign posted at THAT entrance disallowing firearms.  When you enter the club and you choose to consume alcohol, they will take your member or guest ID card and swipe it to DISALLOW you back on the ranges (everything is key card entry).  As for your gun(s), PRIOR to entry you can store in your vehicle or there is security room next to the Club for firearms storage with gun lockers for rent. 

bkoenig:
Izaak Walton League in Lincoln serves alcohol.  They have a sign up saying as soon as you get a drink you're done shooting for the day.

HuskerXDM:
It's not a new trend, but the "guntry club" thing comes up more and more as new ranges are being built.
