Questions have come up in the wake of the Levels Lounge shooting on Tuesday, about having guns inside bars. We spoke to the Allen County Sheriff who says it is legal to have guns in bars if a person has a CCW also known as a concealed carry permit. It would be illegal if the establishment has an explicit sign stating no guns allowed. If you do have a gun in a bar, the law says you cannot drink alcohol or have consumed it already. In terms of security in a bar, it is completely up to bar owners how much or how little they'd like to have in place including bouncers, wands, or metal detectors.
