"Chicago bans [permitted concealed handguns] guns in restaurants that sell liquor," why their concerns are misplaced

Chicago wants to make it very difficult for people to use guns defensively.  By limiting where people are able to carry their guns, they hope to prevent people from being able to carry generally.

Below is a map that will soon be out dated.  Illinois and North Carolina will soon allow concealed carry in restaurants that serve alcohol.  But with all these states that allow concealed carry in restaurants, can anyone point to real problems any place?  No.

From Fox News:

Forced to weaken one of the nation's toughest gun-control laws, the Chicago City Council clearly signaled it wasn't backing down on Wednesday by banning concealed weapons in all bars and restaurants that sell liquor -- and noting that attorneys were ready to fight the anticipated legal challenges. 

State legislators were forced by a federal appeals court in July to adopt a law allowing residents to carry concealed weapons in Illinois, the only state that still banned the practice. The resulting state law largely stripped city and county officials of their authority to regulate guns, which especially irked officials in Chicago, where residents had to apply for concealed-carry permits through the police chief. 

Aldermen reluctantly watered down that ordinance on Wednesday, but then approved the gun ban for bars and restaurants. They took turns defending the new ban and issued a lightly veiled challenge to gun-rights advocates, including the National Rifle Association. 

"Bullets and booze don't mix," said Alderman Edward Burke, one of the sponsors of the ordinance. "For those of you who might be worried about the expense of defending this when the NRA sues, as they've threatened to do, (a Chicago law firm) has agreed to represent the city to defend this matter on a pro bono basis." . . .
