Crazy really. Like most things in life, it's about being prepared. I've only lived here since 1993 from Nevada and I never really felt the effect of not being able to buy one day a week. It really is not a big deal that people make it out to be.
The bus of freedom, liberty and consumer choice?
Funny, last I checked freedom and liberty were only considered a "bus" by the statists.
Well...
Zetas in a roundabout fashion, in addition to LE, beer companies to name a few...
Because for a lot of the "Mom & Pop" liqour stores that is their only day off. Not saying I agree with the prohibition, just giving the reasoning why the Liquor store lobby is not pulling for sunday sales.
It is not that liquor store owners want Sundays off. The reason they oppose lifting the prohibition is that they realize more than half of the population does their weekly grocery shopping on Sunday. If they are able to stock up on booze at the same time, those shoppers are less likely to visit a liquor store during the rest of the week.
What if your LGS could only hire certified persons 21 and over? Wal-Mart does not.
What if the only people that could shop in a LGS could only be 21+? Wal-Mart customers do not need to be.
What if the government said you can only have a gun store for every 8000 people a town has and a big box store selling guns for every 1500 people in a town?

I'm not sure where one has anything to do with the other. IMO both should be repealed. As should laws prohibiting minors into 'bars'. It's absurd.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone try and claim that because minors can walk into a grocery store, no one should be allowed to sell alcohol on Sundays.
That's one heck of a stretch there.
No it's not one heck of a stretch.
Liquor Stores are vastly prohibited on what they can and can not do.
Grocery/Drug and Convenience stores are not.
If a bill was introduce upon the House floor that forced Grocery stores adhere to the same laws as Liquor stores, then there would not be a problem.
Make everybody play to the same set of rules, not one for Liquor stores and another set for GS/CS/DS like there is now.
You think Grocery Stores and Drug stores would throw a fit if liquor stores was allowed to dispense prescription drugs?
Heck ya they would, that's their #1 money maker, and the one reason that they are allowed to sell alcohol, because of being able to purchase a very cheap pharmacy liquor license compared to a more expensive liquor store license which is based on population numbers.
