In the time it takes to notify the management about someone with a gun you could look like swiss cheese.
1. It's illegal to carry a gun in a bar. Period.
2. I really don't think the guy with the gun cared about the legalities of his actions.
3. If he was coked or cracked up he wouldn't care about anything either.
4. If the management didn't care or understand why the music suddenly stopped.....
Actually he never said what the mangement said or didn't say.
5. Alerting the management could have sent the guy over the edge and he may have started shooting at anyone.
Point is an a$$hole can come in many shapes and sizes. The gun makes him even bigger.
A local bar around here was just shot up last week or two ago. They shot 2 shots inside and 2 shots outside at the building. The police know who did it. And it was in the paper.
Wednesday these two clowns show up at my job. I didn't hear about it til it was over. I think I remember seeing the two tattooed guys in the bar. One has a tattoo on his face. Smart disguise.

The bartender recognised them and called the bouncer (Ex Navy Seal) who basically told them they had to leave.
WHY were these yahoos out walking around in the first place?????

I'm almost certain that if I had shot up a bar that I would be locked up for it.
