Quoted:
Does the current code make it illegal to carry in a retail store like Krogers that sells alcohol? I noticed at my local one that in addition to warnings about underage purchase of tobacco and alcohol, they had a sign warning of the illegality of carrying where a D license allows the dispensing of alcohol. To me dispensing alcohol is making it available for consumption on said premises, not the retail sale of a six-pack or bottle of wine.
Am I mistaken?
Kroger will have wine tastings in the store from time to time. They sell a sample for $.25, IIRC. That is why they have the class D.
Remember that the law is only in effect if there are people consuming spirits. So technically, if there is no tasting going on, you should be good.
I know of more than a few people who might say you are good to go even if they are doing a tasting as long as you don't consume. I'm not willing to challenge that in court so I make other arrangements.
IANAL or an expert on ORC.
