The irony in this ruling is amazing. So a constitutional right is unconstitutional? I know the ruling is more about vague wording rather than the right to bear arms, but I am not sure this ruling would stand the test of the Supreme Court. Besides, if vague wording is unconstitutional then I guess we have nothing to worry about with this government health care plan.

I was thinking about the same thing; however, I found this on TN's web site:

Well, it passed. I guess it's open for debate now. At this pace the Great O might get to sign it into law pronto. Stupid.

No tip for them! I guess it could just be one restaurant owner (Rayburn) and some of his employees. I thought it was a collection of restaurant owners.

I am also interested to know who was involved it this case. I would much rather see the screws tightened on just these plaintiffs that are too spineless to post a sign instead of hiding behind a judge. unfortunately, they have alienated the restaurants that didn't post from my money because I don't want to leave my unattended gun in the car. The restaurants that supported us should be "up in arms" against this decision because these 9 plaintiffs are costing them money. I have no interest in intetionally boycotting one of our supporters, but that will be the indirect result of this ruling. I am simply not allowed in there with my gun. I am all for putting the blame where it should be, and I would like to know what restaurants are responsible.

So have I. Obama has an agenda and it is not the well being of the American people.

I'm not leaving my gun in the car if I don't have to, and I don't have to eat in a restaurant that serves alcohol. I don't drink, so their loss. Net result, a family of 5 will be directly or indirectly boycotting restaurants that serve. I intend to write/call the legislature and maybe some restaurants that are members of this Hospitality Assoc.

They are voting Sat. night to open the health care bill for discussions I hope the vote swings NO! Senate Health Bill's Progress Hinges on Two Southern Dems - FOXNews.com Senate Health Bill's Progress Hinges on Two Southern Dems by AP Democratic leaders and the White House are pressing Sens. Landrieu of Louisiana and Lincoln of Arkansas to vote Saturday to move the reform bill to floor debate Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas emerged several days ago as among the last public holdouts among 58 Democrats and two independents whose votes Majority Leader Harry Reid and the White House must have to overcome the Republicans' attempt to strangle the bill Saturday before serious debate can begin. Each has moved carefully with an eye on home-state voters. And inside the Senate, each has taken advantage of the political leverage newly available. A third holdout, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, issued a statement Friday ending any lingering public suspense about his intentions. "The Senate should start trying to fix a health care system that costs too much and delivers too little for Nebraskans," he said, adding his decision should not be seen as an indication of how he will vote on the legislation itself. Nelson had been publicly signaling his intentions for more than a week, and his words presumably came as no surprise to Reid or the White House, which issued a statement Friday saying the bill "provides the necessary health reforms that the administration seeks." This sort of political minuet can be delicate, as shown when the Senate's second-ranking Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said earlier on Friday that Lincoln had already confided to Reid how she planned to vote. Republicans, eager to scuttle the bill -- and defeat Lincoln in 2010 -- instantly accused the two-term senator of telling Democratic party leaders before informing her own constituents in Arkansas. "No other senator speaks for Senator Lincoln. She is still reviewing the bill," declared the senator's spokeswoman, Leah Vest DiPietro, adding her boss had not yet made up her mind. For his part, Durbin sought to quickly close the loop with a statement saying he had been unclear and misinterpreted. As for Nelson, several officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he had insisted Reid omit from the bill any change in the insurance industry's protection from federal antitrust law. The House version of the legislation would expose the industry to scrutiny by both the Justice Department's antitrust lawyers and the Federal Trade Commission. Reid, who spoke out strongly in favor of the change in antitrust treatment earlier in the fall, left it out of the bill he drafted over several weeks and unveiled on Wednesday. Lincoln has been the most close-mouthed about her intention. As a committee chairman, she is the most powerful of the group. As the only one of the three seeking re-election next year, she is also the most politically vulnerable. In public, she has asked that the bill be available for 72 hours before the vote occurs. In private, her demands have been more substantive, according to officials who did not describe them. She is virtually certain to be criticized no matter what her vote. After the House cleared its version of the legislation this month, a conservative group began airing commercials criticizing Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Ark., for voting in its favor. At the same time, MoveOn.org, a liberal organization, slammed another one of the state's lawmakers, Rep. Mike Ross, for opposing it. A hint: At home, Lincoln has suggested her vote will be influenced by former President Bill Clinton, who was Arkansas governor for 12 years before winning the White House. Clinton recently met privately with Senate Democrats, telling them that passing an imperfect bill was better than nothing. "We don't ever go to Washington with the idea that we're going to create a work of art," Lincoln said afterward. "It's got to be a work in progress." She and the other moderates face pressure from business groups opposed to the legislation. In a statement Friday the Business Roundtable, which represents big company CEOs, said the Senate bill "will not effect the needed changes to measurably improve the American health care system." Democrats and the White House had seized on a report by the same group last week concluding that some of the provisions under consideration by Congress had the potential to tame runaway medical inflation. Of the three centrists, Landrieu has been the clearest about her intentions, and her interests ranged beyond health insurance to the oysters for which Louisiana is famous. When the Food and Drug Administration proposed banning sales of raw oysters from the Gulf of Mexico during warm weather months, Landrieu and others objected. A week ago, the agency thought better of the idea and shelved the plan in favor of further study. "I'm really thankful that they listened," said Landrieu, who had met with FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg to discuss the issue. Over recent weeks, Landrieu has issued a string of statements outlining the areas she wanted addressed for the benefit of her constituents -- issues that could be dealt with only after health legislation made it to the Senate floor. After meeting with Reid almost a month ago, she mentioned the "unique challenges Louisiana is facing in terms of Medicaid." In a Senate speech and statement, she noted that Louisiana has the highest breast cancer death rate in the country and the lowest female life expectancy of any state. And she said, "Unless something is done, annual health care costs for small firms over the next 10 years are expected to more than double to reach $339 billion in 2018." Landrieu can point to provisions in the legislation that are designed to attack all three problems. They include Section 2006. Reading it is of little assistance. "Special adjustment to FMAP Determination for Certain States recovering from a Major Disaster" is the title, and about two pages of similarly indecipherable legalese follows. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it will send an additional $100 million to Louisiana to help it cover costs for Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. Should Landrieu decide to side with Republicans this weekend, she would also be voting to deny her state those funds.

Thanks. I believe I found a hair in my food, and the service sucked. I need to leave a review. Do we still have the 1A? Nashville, TN Restaurant Reviews and Recommendations by Citysearch Nashville Restaurants: Read Nashville Restaurant Reviews - TripAdvisor What restaurants do these guys own?

I've mentioned it before... I always carry, so it equates to a boycott for me and my family. That's one permit holder and 4 non-permit holders: scratch 5 customers. Even if I wasn't carrying for some reason, I don't like to hang out in "Gun Free Zones" anyway. Why don't they just hang a sign on the door that says, "Robbers Welcome Here." Nope, you won't find me in these restaurants. I don't know if it will have an impact or not, but this is my money not being spent at a restaurant in Cleveland, TN and surrounding areas that serves alcohol.... Does it hurt them in a bad economy? dunno. Doesn't help them....

Right after the law allowing us to carry in restaurants took place, I did this with my family of 5 + 2 friends (HCP's) at a posted Applebees. As I was politely explaining to the manager why I would not return, a couple at the table next to us spoke up and said they would not be back either because of the posting. I had never met them before. Needless to say, the manager seemed very concerned over the loss of business. He said he would contact the district manager about it, but I don't know if anything changed because I have never been back. It's pointless to check on this restaurant's posted status now. In this economy, I don't think a business wants to loose a family of customers. I say speak up and tell them that this court decision will affect the money that you will spend in their place of business - even if it is through an email or phone call. Who knows what effect it may have... That said, FG has a valid point. The court has ruled, and now the restaurants can just say "it's not my fault that you can't carry here." Even if we hit them in the pocketbook, they cannot change it now anyway. However, I carry all the time. I WILL NOT disarm to go into a restaurant that serves alcohol. I will not break the law, so no $$$ for them! Eating out is highly overrated, IMHO.

I'm thinkin'..... internet restaurant reviews. Who are these people again? Nashville Restaurants: Read Nashville Restaurant Reviews - TripAdvisor

Delay, delay..... j/k

Count me in. I boycott ALL posted locations anyway because I am ALWAYS carrying (except for schools, etc.). I will not disarm just to go into a restaurant that is posted (or that serves), I'll go next door to one that doesn't. These restaurants can keep their over-priced food and go out of business for all I care... that's just how I feel. On the other hand, I would hate to find a roach in my food at some of the restaurants owned by these pansy libs that have been crying about my rights. Health Inspector........ I have been thinking about a career change. Maybe I should become a food critic.

I ran across this because of a similar family situation. My grandparents required too much care for family members to be able to handle, so they were unable to stay at home. However, this might be worth looking into if your parents qualify. The paperwork and hoops might be overwhelming, but apparently Medicaid or Tenncare will pay a family member to take care of a loved one at home if it allows them to stay at home longer. Just a thought.

I wonder if he has the impression of that cylinder permanently stamped on his forehead. It's now a convertible 3-shooter

I'm watching the GOP spank the Dems in VA and NJ elections tonight. Hopefully NY will choose the Conservative Candidate for the House race.

I know that sick feeling. The feeling of experience gained I missed a doe a few days ago. I ranged her - I knew what pin to use - I can shoot a 3" group at that range on a target but for some reason I used the top pin and shot under her. I somehow got a rogue case of "buck fever" on a little doe when it came time to shoot. I rushed it for no reason. Whenever I miss a deer, it just makes me appreciate the next one even more.

I have that same Dog House blind from Walmart, and I just shoot my arrow right through the camo mesh windows. I don't un-velcro them before shooting. I have practiced this way, and the mesh material seems to have no noticable affect on arrow flight. They sell replacement windows if the material get too many holes in it. If it is gun season, I use my .44 revolver for space considerations. I hunt from my blind often. In the summer, I just wear a long-sleeve light-weight black T-shirt and black doo rag. The inside of the blind is blacked out, so if the light is kept out you are invisible inside of there. First time I used my blind, I forgot the seat. That was an uncomfortable hunt. Although I prefer a tree stand when feasible, a ground blind is a fun way to hunt. I could have reached out and pulled the hair off of a doe two seasons ago. She was within arms reach and never knew I was there.

It's like two threads for the price of one. I like multi-tasking.

What about an AC inverter that plugs into your 12 volt system? Then, maybe you could find an AC heater that wouldn't overload the inverter. That might give more heat than a 12v heater. Dunno... Walmart has inverters for $30-$60, but I can't remember how many watts they can handle.

I like the scabbard on the side Duct tape rules. Dude needs an STC or ferry permit though. I wonder how strict the Feds are up there in AK with 'bush planes'. Oak City has his tail # in the pics, but I bet not pics exsist of him flying it though....
