Dear Arizona residents. Did you happen to notice the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Tennessee about the guns in restaurants that serve alcohol?
You're about to get the same thing
Ariz. Senate considers allowing guns near alcohol PHOENIX - Hoping for better luck with a Republican governor, gun rights advocates are pushing a bill vetoed by former Gov. Janet Napolitano that would allow concealed weapons in Arizona restaurants that sell alcohol. The bill, which passed a Senate panel Monday, would allow people with concealed weapons permits to bring a handgun into a restaurant unless the owner has posted a sign prohibiting firearms. People carrying a weapon would not be allowed to drink

I'll have to update my list.
Of course, people against choice (Progressives or Democrats, as they're also known) aren't too happy about allowing individual businesses the ability to decide who they wish to serve
Sen. Ken Cheuvront, a Phoenix Democrat who owns a wine bar downtown, said he's concerned that restaurant owners will unknowingly allow guns inside by not posting a sign. "As a restaurateur, there are a lot of times when we're not informed of changes in the law," Cheuvront said. "If they're not informed, it's implicit that they're allowing it." Napolitano, a Democrat, vetoed a similar bill in 2005 citing the wishes of restaurant owners and law enforcement agencies.

Nobody is telling a restaurant or business that they MUST allow guns in. The problem, and every last one of these anti-rights individuals knows it, is that a sign on their door will drive their patrons elsewhere and they absolutely do not want the responsibility on their shoulders.
Tough shit. Learn to love it because it's coming.
