Just an fyi: You're referring to a legislature that "accidentally" put language in concealed carry legislation that made it illegal for on-duty, uniformed law enforcement personnel to walk into bars with their duty weapons (it was later fixed).

I'm a little confused also.
It does seem to me that there are far fewer restaurant/bar poker tournaments in my area. I don't know if that reflects a waning popularity of these types of tournaments or if establishment owners have been backed off by numerous Districty/County Attorney statements that holding no fee/rake tournaments are still illegal because it is likely that participants will buy food/drink from the establishment and that constitutes an illegal benefit.
I suspect the legislation is trying to fix that, but as PokerXanadu and others have stated, the language is ambiguous to the point of confusion.
