Would this be legal?

If the place serves alcohol, you're not supposed to carry a firearm in there.

As for your question, if you're going to brandish to get a point across, you're just a ***** with a gun in your hand. Never pull unless you intend on using it. You're best choice, would be to get out of there. Dont ever pull a gun that you dont intend to use. If I see someone with a knife in their hand, walking towards me, and its made clear of whats about to happen. I wouldnt brandish to get them to stop.

No questions, you already know all you need to know. Its their problem for putting themselves into that situation at that point. Do what you have to do to stop that person, and if it means pulling a gun out, well you can better not hesitate. Not even for a second.

That being said, its still a last resort. Id still suggest you try to diffuse that situation, or just get the hell out of there asap before it comes to that.

Incorrect.

In the state of Pa it is not Illegal to carry a hadgun in a bar granted you have a CCW permit.

It is illegall to carry on any federally owned or insured property or school property.

Ie post office banks high schools.

Most bars have their own rules about weapons.

I have and still do to this day carry my handgun into bars.

My aplogies for not knowing the gun laws outside of the state im registered to carry in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Notice I said, you're not supposed to. No one knows the difference.

 
The last few answers are finally logical and correct. lol

Different states have different rules about concealed carry in not only bars, but in any establishment that serves alcohol. In most of my research it has usually been specifically for businesses that make the majority of their income from alcohol sales, so places like a pizza joint that serves pitchers of beer wouldn't fit in that situation.

Also, in some places, all a business owner has to do is put up a sign or sticker on the door prohibiting weapons in their business and you're not allowed by state law even to carry in that business with a permit. You might be surprised how many places have these stickers that you don't even notice most of the time. In some areas it can seriously limit your ability to carry.

"Brandishment" is an actual criminal charge in some places, and applies not just to people who go around threatening people, but even to those who have concealed carry permits and don't go to proper lengths to keep their weapons out of the public eye. A permit holder who wears a shoulder holster and removes their outer jacket could be charged, or someone who wears a belt holster without a shirt or jacket long enough to keep it hidden all the time. Bending over in a store and someone seeing a .45 in the back of your pants can frighten people enough to have someone call the police (especially in this post-9/11 world), which can lead to revocation of your permit or even criminal charges.

So, in short, if you're serious about getting CCW permit, this would definitely be a question to ask in the class you are most likely required to take, since the laws will vary from state to state, and even business to business.

From my perspective, it's much much easier to defuse a potentially violent situation when you're carrying, because you know you hold the ace or the trump card. It's much easier to back down, let the mouth-breathers feel like they're the big badass, because I know that I can do whatever is humanly possible to try to avoid it, but if it comes down to it, I know the outcome is assured.

Example:

Seabass: "How'd you like me to shove your teeth down your throat?"

Me: "I'd really hate for you to do that, maybe I should just find somewhere else to hang out." (thinking I'd really hate to have to end someone's life tonight and then deal with all the legal consequences as well)

It adds a supreme confidence and calm, in my experience. Much easier to just back down when you know you have the upper hand and are truly in no real danger, despite outward appearances... it's the same kind of scenario with those who have extensive martial arts training, I believe. Maybe some of them could explain it better. You must be very disciplined, it's not just to scare people off and show them that you aren't to be messed with.

To me, anyone who has a habit of pulling out their piece in only slightly threatening situations that they could have easily avoided by simply letting go of their pride or being a bit more humble doesn't actually deserve the privilege.
