Hard drugs are not anything like pot, tabacco or alcohol. People who are hooked on these drugs are willing to do things your average drunk or pot-head would not even consider. Heavy taxes would not be a problem for this new legion of crackheads that leagalizing drugs would create. More than likely they would be paying with money belonging to the non-drug users (innocent people).

Denying people the right to carry in places, based on keeping the lawbreakers from doing likewise, is a bit like locking the barn after the horse is out.
I think restricting the rights of law-abiders in hopes that those who shouldn't drink and carry, won't drink and carry, is a bad trade-off.
There have been cries that changing the laws in many states to allow carry in places that serve alcohol would lead to drunken shootouts by CCW holders (the same argument they used to deny CCWs in the first place). These arguments have not proven to be true.
Please provide me the details of any CCW holders who carried into a place serving alcohol, imbibed, and misused their weapons.
Do we stop drunk driving by banning drivers from businesses that serve alcohol?
