As a prior gun owner in Massachusetts (with a concealed carry permit) I should point out that bars (along with federal and municipal buildings, schools and stadium events) are places where it is illegal to carry a gun under any circumstances, even if permitted to do so elsewhere in the state.
For a funny take on this, check out the Colbert report:

scroll down to “Difference Makers: Doug Jackson” and watch a topical clip from last night’s episode where a Tn. state senator is trying to legalize guns in bars.
Other than that, agree with what you wrote…
