F.S. 790.06 (12)(a) 12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;
If you are eating dinner at Applebee's, you cannot sit at the bar while concealed carrying. In fact, you can’t even walk through the bar area.

You don’t want a nosy student to see your gun case and overreact to the police.
