That's strange because one of the top reasons to get a permit here is if your a business owner doing bank runs...
Nothing against the law about schools either, not a good idea but not against the law. Same with stores that have a no gun policy, its their policy but not against the law.

You can carry in a bank in Colorado but not public schools.
You can also drink a beer while you are carrying but you cannot be intoxicated. However, I think you would be a fool to drink while you are carrying. That would be just asking for trouble.
I got pulled over for speeding in a school zone. I firmly believe my concealed carry permit is why the officer gave me just a warning. He knew I was a good dude because bad dudes don't pass an intense FBI and CBI background check.

Do not go in a bank carrying...Don't even think about going into a public school or to a ball game or a bar...Also remember there is 0% tolerance for alcohol in your system...If you are going to drink, let the wife drive and lock the pistol in the trunk or take her car...
Also, don't let anyone else drive your car with that pistol concealed, they would be in violation...

*You can legally carry in banks.
*You can legally carry while intoxicated.
*You can legally carry a firearm loaded and chambered in your glove compartment in Florida with out a concealed permit at all.
*You must leave the gun locked in your vehicle if you enter school property.
*Florida has no requirement to inform the officer that you are carrying unless they ask.

I might be wrong but I'm not buying this one. Unless it some in the home law.

When I read this, it's sounds like you cannot carry under the influence. I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut hole that if you were visibly impaired and a LEO knew you were carrying, you'd have a big problem.
It sounds like from reading the rest of it, that if you were under the influence and were forced to protect yourself, they would not prosecute you for doing so. But if they caught you carrying while intoxicated you'd be in trouble. From reading it, I can see the point that you are making.
The only time I carry when I'm drinking alcohol, is in elk camp and at the house. Bad guys or bears don't give a rats behind if your drinking or not! LMAO!!

Simply carrying a firearm on your person for self defense while intoxicated is perfectly legal.
It is not legal to actually have in your hand a loaded firearm or to actually discharge a firearm while intoxicated unless you are justified in defense of yourself or another person..... and then you have to have a .10 BAC or higher to be legally intoxicated to the extent that your normal faculties were impaired. Well over the legal limit for driving a vehicle.
