Andersen, C.J.
(concurring)—I concur, but would just add the following observation. There is nothing in the language of our state constitution or in the history of the right to "bear arms", as protected by the federal and various state constitutions, which lends any credence whatsoever to the claim that there is a constitutional right to carry a firearm into a drinking establishment. See, e.g., United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174, 83 L. Ed. 1206, 59 S. Ct. 816 (1939); State v. Tully, 198 Wash. 605, 89 P.2d 517 (1939); Ex parte Thomas, 1 Okla. Crim. 210, 97 P. 260 (1908).
