WOOOT!!!!!

I hope like hell the okay this one, one step closer to being able to eat out while carrying.

[Guest BMcCoy]

Restaurant carry? Is it saying that you cannot carry in a bar? A bar is an age restricted establishment, correct?

There is no legal definition of "bar" in Tennessee. Age restricted establishments would still be off limits, but I see no evidence under proposed legislation that would ban you from sitting at your local neighborhood Longhorn or Chili's and eat at the "bar," as long as you are abstaining from alcohol.

[Guest db99wj]

Oh man, I hope this passes.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Does anyone know the latest on the bill created to end fingerprinting when you purchase a firearm? Or is this old news?

Me too, I think it has to do with the fact that nasville is 1 hr behind us.

And making milk the official Tn. state beverage is EXACTLY what the politicians get paid to do....

we have some real rocket scientists at the capital...

[Guest db99wj]

Ok, it is rolling. They are praying.

[Guest db99wj]

962 held on desk until study gets up there, they are being slowed.....damn it.

Yea and Nafaei ain't helping.

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

Well, HB0962 is held on desk for some reason that I missed so it didn't get voted on yet. Jimmy Neifeh showed his ass as usual and made a motion to move one of the other handgun bills (HB0082 - the judge carry bill) to thursday. He indicated that he (big surprise) is going to fight against "all of these gun bills" and that we "had better get read for some late nights with all of these gun bills on the calendar". That guy is like a nest of termites. completely useless and nearly impossible to get rid of.

[Guest db99wj]

No doubt. What a blowhard.

It sounds like a good thing that they have done a "study" on it, unless it is bad, then it will suck, but seems like before there was not enough data to move these to vote...who knows.

What does it mean "held on desk"?

[Guest db99wj]

What does it mean "held on desk"?

I, assume, that it means they will come back to it, today, in unfinished business, when they get the study's up from where ever the hell they are. Wish they would get on with it, lets welcom all the mayors and be done with it.

[Guest bkelm18]

Yes, lets waste time and recognize everybody on the face of the planet. Geez.

Well the unfinished biz is done, they are on announcements now. So much for that idea. Why can't they just say what they are doing. IE "I'm holding the bill till 4/1/09 for the rest of the gun bills get here.
