More on Tennessee’s bill to allow guns in places that serve alcohol
Did you know that back in 2006, Governor Bredesen said in a survey that he would sign the bill to allow those with carry permits to carry in places that serve alcohol provided they were not drinking? Broken promises.
Via David, who notes what I’ve said all along:
There is a lot of confusion over what the bill would do, and much of that is intentional. Opponents want to portray it as an invitation for drunken maniacs to open fire in saloons. Proponents point out that many family restaurants serve beer and wine, and those dining there should not have their defenselessness dictated to them by a state that has neither the capability nor the legal obligation to protect them.
The Commercial Squeal is squealing that you should call your reps and tell them not to override.

In the I’m impressed dept. Representative Mike Bell has responded directly to every one of the emails I’ve sent him. Not only that he is obviously a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. So kudos to the man.
