    I've carried at BWW in MN, although I don't carry when going to drink.

    Atleast in MN, they have to ask you to leave, and then if you don't its a $25 ticket.

    Also, BWW doesn't comply with state laws on postings:

    "What are the requirements for the sign?

    The sign must be 187 square inches in area. This includes an 11-inch-by- 17-inch sign, but it could also be other dimensions, as long as it is of the required area. The background of the sign must be “bright.”

    The lettering must be black Arial typeface at least 1.5 inches in height. The lettering must contrast with the background of the sign.

    The sign must indicate the identity of the operator of the private establishment and state that the operator “BANS GUNS IN THESE PREMISES.” For example: “ACME ANVILS, INC., BANS GUNS IN THESE PREMISES.”

    Where must signs be posted?

    The signs must be posted within four feet laterally of every entrance to the establishment. The bottom of the sign must be four to six feet above the floor."

  • Who do you REALLY side with?
    JimJ Jim

    Two quick situations that I can think of that have happened to me personally in the past week or two...

    1. Had a cold, went to the walk-in clinic. They open at 8am, I arrived at 11am. Gave the lady my medical insurance card and my debit card to pay for my co-pay. Their CC machine was down, but this was the first they had noticed it because I was the first person to NOT be on government medical assistance that morning. The waiting room was packed, and it took me two hours to see a doctor. This was absolutely mind blowing to me.

    2. I have a good friend who is a social worker, and I was all fired up one day about some statistics I read about the rampant abuse of the welfare system (like withdrawing EBT money at casinos and strip clubs, etc...), so I brought this discussion up with her. She noted that there is a VERY small percentage of the total number of welfare recipients that are classified as chronic welfare users (less then 5% here in Minneapolis). The vast majority of people are ashamed to take food stamps and such and thus gtfo of the situation as quickly as possible. She said that it mostly serves as a safety net for people who make bad choices (like saving money, wasting it on stupid shit etc...) and they fall in and out of the system.

    The huge increase in dependence on government handouts in the past few years can largely be put on the democratic extentions of unemployment benefits (which is whole-heartededly disagree with). My proposal would be to treat unemployment the same as the welfare system. Instead of giving people free-reign money, give them food stamps. On unemployment for an extended period of time? Move to section 8 housing. Want to extend your benefits? Mandatory temp work (which often leads to perm. positions). Now tell me that wouldn't light a fire under people's asses to go out and actually take a job. There's plenty of jobs available, but often times it pays better to stay on unemployment.

    Look, I'm not talking about the eliminating the safety net for short-term, emergency type use... I'm talking about these shits who sit downtown all day long, wearing $100 shoes, talking on a $500 cell phone, and still collect government handouts like it's owed to them.

    Edit: Also, I was shocked by the 50% not paying Federal income tax. What. The. Fuck?

    ... its because it's nowhere near 50%.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_dependency#Measuring_dependency

    Measuring dependency
    The United States Department of Health and Human Services defines ten indicators of welfare dependency:[23]
    Indicator 1: Degree of Dependence, which can be measured by the percentage of total income from means-tested benefits. If greater than 50%, the recipient of welfare is considered to be dependent on it for the purposes of official statistics.
    Indicator 2: Receipt of Means-Tested Assistance and Labor Force Attachment, or what percentage of recipients are in families with different degrees of labor force participation.
    Indicator 3: Rates of Receipt of Means-Tested Assistance, or the percentage of the population receiving TANF, food stamps, and SSI.
    Indicator 4: Rates of Participation in Means-Tested Assistance Programs, or the percentage of people eligible for welfare benefits who are actually claiming them.
    Indicator 5: Multiple Program Receipt, or the percentage of recipients who are receiving at least two of TANF, food stamps, or SSI.
    Indicator 6: Dependence Transitions, which breaks down recipients by demographic characteristics and the level of income that welfare benefits represented for them in previous years.
    Indicator 7: Program Spell Duration, or for how long recipients draw the three means-tested benefits.
    Indicator 8: Welfare Spell Duration with No Labor Force Attachment, which measures how long recipients with no one working in their family remain on welfare.
    Indicator 9: Long Term Receipt, which breaks down spells on TANF by how long a person has been in receipt.
    Indicator 10: Events Associated with the Beginning and Ending of Program Spells, such as an increase in personal or household income, marriage, children no longer being eligible for a benefit, and/or transfer onto other benefits.
    In 2005, the Department estimated that 3.8% of the American population could be considered dependent on welfare, calculated as having more than half of their family’s income coming from TANF, food stamps, and/or SSRI payments, down from 5.2% in 1996.[24] As 15.3% of the population was in receipt of welfare benefits in 2005, it follows that approximately one-quarter of welfare recipients are considered dependent as per the official measures. In general, measures of welfare dependence are assessed alongside the statistics for poverty in general.[25]
    Government measures of welfare dependence include welfare benefits associated with work. If such benefits were excluded from calculations, the dependency rate would be lower.[26]
