alcohol and concealed carry permits

I think it's illegal to even think about a gun in California.

Yep don't carry if you plan to drink. Plain and Simple..

Virginia also just recently changed the law to where you could carry and go into a place that serves alcohol.

I personally tend to avoid most eating establishments or store with "NO CONCEALED WEAPONS Guns or knives" signs on their doors.

If its concealed how would you ever know if I have it. (I mostly avoid all places with these signs) Here is a link for a list of those in Virginia http://www.vcdl.org/static/gue.html

I guess I can't carry my Kershaw pocket knife in a restaurant cause I might want to pull it out and hurt someone, yet you serve me a steak with an 8" serrated steak knife.

Yeah, what he said.
For practical reasons as much as legal ones.

It's the George Lucas clause in the CA constitution.
All guns are to be replaced by walkie talkies

So when I go to San Francisco for a week of vacation in September I can't take my gun ? Crap...I was gonna put it in my wife's carry on.

I guess I'll just ship it to the hotel and pick it up when I get there...ok maybe not.

For me, if I'm going to be drinking, I'm not carrying. The risk is too great.

I've never been pulled over while carrying, but if I were, I'd do what Z06boy did. I'll notify the officer even if I haven't touched a drink. It's just curtosy.
