The paper in The City (My The City) has a poll:

Will you feel safer in bars and restaurants now that the guns bill has passed?

Well, I’ll really feel the same. HT to linoge.

Yeah, the correct answer is “no”, but not for the reasons they think.

An interesting poll in that it asks about feelings, rather than facts.

Their last one asked ambiguously if you would look for posted restaurants, making either answer a tossup on whether you were pro or anti on the new bill. Oddly enough,since it was an ambiguous question, it came out 40/60 yes/no.

The one before that had an overwhelming response that guns in restaurants was approved, something like 85% OK with it.

So they keep trying to find a way to get an answer that says Tennesseans disapprove of this new bill. I wish them the worst of luck with that.

If they don’t like the answers, asking different questions is one way to go, I guess.

I dunno, I’d feel a lot safer with my gun under my coat than locked in my car.

Also If I was a criminal thinking about doing something bad in-on-or-around a restaurant, I’d feel LESS safe, so that does make the good people more safe.

Interesting. The Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Knox sister paper, phrases their poll this way: “With the guns-in-restaurants bill about to become law, will you look for restaurants that don’t allow guns?

At 7:30PM Friday, it was 2 to 1, NO. 🙂
