The restaurant associations arguement boiled down to: "we don't actually follow the rules to sell alcohol in our establishments, so permit holders won't know if we meet the definition of 'place that serves alcohol' whlie we are holding ourselves out as a restaurant that serves alcohol". There ar no bars under tennessee law: to serve liquor or wine, you must be a restaurant, and you must meet all the same requirements that were put in the carry law.

The judge was right in many cases it wouldn't be clear. The whole business of serving food or not serving food seems pretty foolish as a determining factor in being allowed to carry.

I can't see the TN legislature enacting laws that will treat us CCW'ers like our counterparts in 38 (39?) other states. Well, it was good while it lasted.

That and I always carried anyway so who cares. I’m glad of this ruling only so far that it shows how lazy our legislature is. That and I always carried anyway so who cares.

But if *all* places are no-gun then you might as well go ahead and eat at his place. This way he doesn't have to choose between banning guns and getting your money. He can get both.

A few months ago, I had gone there with the wife, and there was a clear sign on the door stating "no guns". Considering that sign carries the weight of law, I don't quite know why he cares.
