This is what I wrote
I have heard from multiple sources that some council members are going to try to pass an ordinance to ban the firearms in restaurants in the metro area after is was made legal by the great state of Tennessee.
I do not agree with this in any way. Why would someone take it upon them self to override a state law before it is given a chance? I personally find it very insulting. I have lived in Davidson County all my life. I currently own land and live in Goodlettsville. My wife and I shop and dine in the Goodlettsville and Nashville area for most of our needs and this will effect us both. I have my permit to carry a handgun and my wife is about to take the steps to get hers. Our family's safety comes before anything else.
A restaurant or business has always had the ability to ban guns on their premises, and I will and have always respected their wishes. It is there choice after all. To force it on all businesses and their customers is uncalled for and a overly controlling. It takes away a right given to law abiding citizens our state has seen fit to give us.
Please understand, permit holders are not criminals. We possess a permit because we have a clean record and have taken then necessary training required by the state.
