Yeah, Concealed Carry Doesn't Mix with Alcohol.
Everyone knows that you ditch all your guns if you're going to a bar for more than, say, a single drink. Yes: even your
church gun. All of 'em.
But going out to party is different than going out to dinner, no?
Actually, I love those cafes in Arizona that ask that "no weapons" be brought inside. What the hell do they expect me to do?—leave it in my fucking glove box? Now that's safe. Why don't I just leave 'em in the lost and found by the hostess' post, so they can be claimed by the local criminals?
I've got to get out shooting, soon. And remember: women need twice as much target practice as men do. It isn't an eye-hand coordination thing. It's the fact that we have to do the same drills wearing both flats and heels. More of a challenge. (I love shooting in heels; everyone asks if I'm a cop, and I get to act all excited, like, "oh, they've waived the height requirements, have they?" Men are so transparent; they might as well say, "I've seen you at this range before . . .")

If you have a CCW and keep it concealed except in the event of armed robbery, then no one's the wiser and you're safer. It's not like there's a metal detector at the door.
For myself I'm seriously thinking about a small handgun safe for my vehicle for just such circumstances.
There is a bill before the AZ legislature to legalize carry in restaurants as long as you're not drinking. Predictably the GFW's are all up in panty-bunching mode.
Speaking of shooting practice, time at the range is good, if that's all you have access to. But for a more realistic form of practice, you might want to look into whether there is a local IDPA* chapter near you. (*International Defensive Pistol Association). Typically a chapter will hold a once a month shooting match, where you get to practice your skills in a more dynamic environment than plugging a cardboard target while standing still (heels or no).
Now if you were to get involved in this, I would love to be there to video you running the course in heels. Heels and pearls and a cocktail dress.
*Whew*...getting hot thinking about it...

I did take one defensive shooting course; we had to run to create some stress before our final shooting stint. Run, shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot . . .
