... There is no "alcohol premises ban" in MA, but everywhere is prohibited if you are "under the influence of alcohol".
Slight correction -
Massachusetts has enacted
a mutual exclusion principle
for alcohol and gunpowder:
Either
your gun can be loaded,
or
you can be loaded,
but not both simultaneously:
General Laws,
Chapter 269, Section 10H
Carrying loaded firearm while under influence of liquor, marijuana, narcotic drugs, depressants or stimulant substances; punishment
Section 10H. Whoever, having in effect a license to carry firearms issued under section 131 or 131F of chapter 140, carries on his person, or has under his control in a vehicle, a loaded firearm, as defined in section 121 of said chapter 140, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or marijuana, narcotic drugs, depressants or stimulant substances, all as defined in section 1 of chapter 94C, or the vapors of glue shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than two and one-half years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
Sample application: I seriously considered for a while that they didn't charge
Abington Man for packing while drunk on Nantasket Beach because his Walther PPK/S was in
Condition Four. (The news stories can be interpreted to allow for that set of facts). But I decided that in reality he's in so much trouble that they got writers cramp before they got around to drunk carry.
Oh, and notice that the law I quoted makes carrying under the influence illegal only if you have a license. (Firearm license - not liquor license).
