Arizona approves bill allowing guns in bars

[Viking]

when people in norway get drunk they get into fights... when people in arizona get drunk they compete in marksmanship...

It's very important that criminals are now afraid rather than law abiding citizens.

Errr... Actually, now and thanks to this new law both criminals and law abiding citizens will be afraid from drunken fools with guns, isn'it?

The measure would ban drinking while packing and allow restaurants to deny entry to gun-toting citizens by posting a sign next to their liquor license.

The law, though, is a good one. Tennessee recently did something similar.

And that is good because...?

Drunk rednecks shooting each other. Win/win.

Great. Arizonans will only have to worry about gun packing teetotaller criminals in bars 

Now, seriously, this seems a quite empty law then. First it would quite odd to visit a bar when you aren't going to drink at all, and second I guess most bars wil display that sign... or have I forgotten some factor?

soon they'll be too fat anyways. Guns no longer will be powerful enough to get through the layers of fat to do damage.

It seems the law is aimed at general/family restaurants that happen to serve alcohol, like T.G.I. Friday's, Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, Applebee's, etc.

Ah, OK. We don't have any of those no-alcohol restaurants over here (even Macdonalds and Burger Kings serve beer in Spain)

I know that's not usually the case, and I have been told by someone that ought to know that at least Macdonalds Spain had to fight long and hard to convince US headquarters that by serving beer they wouldn't lose families and kids.

The kids actually would refuse to go if they couldn't get a beer in Spain.

Can we shoot the pianist this time round?

Yep.  No longer do we have to content ourselves with just stabbing him

Not pre-teens, but many teenagers would. In Spain usually things are like this:

First contact with alcohol often happens in Christmas family feasts when we are 12-13. Just a glass of cider or champagne (or 'cava', our national version). From then on, teens are usually encouraged to start drinking gradually some beer/wine with meals - but in my limited experience most teens at a burger will still drink Coke.

Sounds healthier than the wait until college and drink until you get alcohol poisoning method.

I remember going to the local pub/brewery in Lviv to drink beer when I was 10.  My dad and his friend went, and so did I and the friend's son, who was also 10.  Nobody batted an eye.
