Here in CA the law is silent on alcohol and guns. That means there is nothing in the law regarding carrying and drinking or being in a bar. However, there is a clause in the application that says, "The licensee shall not be in a place having a primary purpose of dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption."

So, while it doesn't explicitly use the term "bar" we do agree not to hang out in a bar.

This of course raises the question about places that have a bar as part of their business. Restaurants like Applebee's, TGI Fridays, the Olive Garden, etc., all have a bar area. Our local sheriff interprets it this way, as long as you're in the restaurant area, you're OK. Even if you're in the bar area, as long as you're seated at a booth, i.e. not at the bar itself, you're OK.

This is just my local area and state. I highly recommend giving the sheriff or police chief a call. They are usually happy to answer questions like this for you.
