dougie, your statement something is "common" when in fact it is the law.

it is the law in Texas.

It is quite common for bars and such to prohibit firearms. I/ve seen
some that even provide a gun-check service.

you might take a look at Texas. Every place in Texas that serves even
beer --
such as pizza places -- has a large sign in plain view reminding one and
all
that it is a felony to be in possesion of a fire arm in the place.

Well, there are liberal carry laws in place in Arizona, Virginia, and
several
other states. I don;t hear of widespread killings there. My ex carries
all
the time and has yet to kill anyone or even draw her weapon. The
deterrent value is undesputed in those states that allow one to carry
or at least have a weapon in their home.

As a very famous person once said: An armed society is a polite
society.

the most polite society in America ever was the society in the Wild
West
of the
1880's, when even young women packed a six gun and often a rifle as
well.
At
lot of people died, but they were most usually polite to each other
right
up
until the firing started.
