Police and other trained law enforcement officers are welcome in restaurants and bars. Law enforcement are trained to use firearms in crowded public places. You need absolutely no such training to obtain a gun carry permit. That's the problem with allowing guns in bars.
A recent tragic incident reminds us of precisely why guns in bars is such a bad idea. Even trained law enforcement can make mistakes with guns.
The sad story involves a former father of a 2 year old that was accidentally shot by a police officer. On his way home from a late shift at work, the man was driving on the wrong side of the road and nearly hit a police officer. He apparently panicked, fled and crashed his car off the highway. With gun drawn, the officer made his way on foot to the car, but slipped on some loose rocks and accidentally fired his gun into the air. Another officer thought the father was shooting at the officer, and shot and killed the father. The unarmed father will never see his daughter again. The story is here.
Untrained citizens have no business carrying guns in crowded places like restaurants and bars.
