Is it a Restaurant that Serves Alcohol or a Bar that Serves Food?

One of the restriction with carrying a concealed pistol is that you may not take it into a bar.  Now, a bar is defined as any establishment that makes more that 50% of its income from alcohol.  The problem is that sometimes, you can’t tell the difference.

For example, I frequent an establishment at lunch time.  Of my fellow lunch time consumers, 100 of them eat only lunch while about 10 drink theirs.  So, at lunch time, this is clearly a restaurant that serves drinks.  But, after 5, who knows what happens?

So, short of examining their books, you can’t really tell if it is a bar that serves food or a restaurant that serves alcohol.

While I understand the intent of the law, it needs some refinement.
