Be careful when you're in Lakewood. The last I knew there was a city law that states you can't carry in a place that serves alcohol.

I'm not worried about getting caught with a gun on me when I'm having a drink with dinner. I'm worried about the repurcussions if I happen to need to use my gun while having a drink with dinner. Is it treated the same as drinking and driving or am I screwed if they somehow know that I'd been drinking?

Hunter, you can carry for years and never need to use it. It wouldn't even be hard to get away with carrying without a permit the entire time. It's when you actually have to use it that you get into trouble.
