Consecuencias por portar armas en negocios de venta de alcohol

Explicación Simple

Si llevas un arma a un lugar donde venden alcohol, puedes meterte en problemas. Te pueden multar o incluso ir a la cárcel si te atrapan. Además, si tienes un permiso para portar el arma, este puede ser cancelado por cinco años.

Es como si fueras a una fiesta donde hay reglas sobre no llevar comida. Si llevas un plato y la anfitriona te pide que lo saques, puedes ser invitado a salir de la fiesta.
