It is illegal to have six shots while carrying a six-shooter in Idaho drinking establishments. But when a patron does it anyway, what’s a bar or restaurant owner to do? Law enforcement officials and alcohol beverage industry groups alike are using the recent passage of Idaho's "Constitutional Carry Bill” as an avenue to educate individuals on the law. The bill, which goes into effect July 1, allows Idaho residents 21 or older statewide, who are not otherwise disqualified, to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. Susan Jenkins, president of the Idaho Licensed Beverage Association, told The Press on Friday more than three hours of training on the topic of weapons will be offered this week in Boise when her organization hosts a trade show in conjunction with an Idaho State Liquor Division trade show. Both events are geared specifically for bar, tavern and restaurant owners and staff, and state liquor division staff/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
