I'm kind of suspicious--my area is listed as "more groceries" and we are nowhere close, unless you count every place that sells candy bars as a grocery.
Ah, the three categories of reporting: "Lies, damn lies, and statistics."
You're sure you are not unusually short on bars? ;)
Well, except for North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, where the correlation doesn't exist.
Maybe a correlation between "bars per square mile" and mandated defenselessness would work for those states?
And don't forget, to collectivists, correlation ALWAYS equals causation. Therefore, to get more mandated defenselessness (gun control/no permits), we HAVE to build more bars...
The first map is pure win for WI; we pride ourselves on our ability to hold our liquor better than anyone else in the world. The second map is a bit of a lie, though; we do have unlicensed OC in WI, so it hasn’t been “right denied” since about 2001 (WI SC Hamdan decision) IIRC.
Funny thing, the only thing we can’t carry in bars in WI is handguns, and even that has an exception for clubhouses at shooting clubs. Theoretically, there’s no reason you can’t carry a rifle or shotgun into, say, Summerfest.
The map of grocery stores and bars doesn't really tell much; states have different rules, and it's hard to compare them. For instance, in Wyoming you can only buy beer in a bar or liquor store. In Utah, you can buy beer in grocery stores. In New Mexico, grocery stores can sell any alcoholic beverage. This is going to change the ratios of liquor stores and bars to grocery stores due to availability of common beverages such as beer.
I assumed this map showed how cold weather causes people to drink.
*hic* What?!?
