Restaurant Carry HB0962 To Be Voted On Today 04/06/09

[Guest Seminole]

It will pass easily in the Senate, as it has for the past several years. The House has always been the holdup.

[Guest bkelm18]

Governor does not have to sign when it eventually gets to his desk, however I think he will. Regardless, it still becomes law.

Ah I see. However its still a ways away.

[TripleDigitRide]

When will the Senate see it?

[Garufa]

Ah I see. However its still a ways away.

He can either sign it, veto or take no action. Taking no action equals passage without approval if I recall correctly.

[Guest bkelm18]

When will the Senate see it?

I believe it is going to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. Last I heard anyway.

[dralarms]

I thought Nafiea was gonna have a coranary.

[Guest archerdr1]

we're not that lucky!

[Guest bkelm18]

I was hoping Nafiea was gonna have a coranary.

There, fixed it for ya.

[Guest Jcochran88]

so what happens next is it law now?

Never mind seen the notice on the home screen.

[Guest bkelm18]

I wish they would hurry and update the bill summary page to see who voted for and against so I can start writing my thank you letter or my 'you're not getting my vote next time' letter.

That sounds like a plan.

[Bigiron]

I hope and pray that Naifeh gets beat at the next election in his district. Now his district knows exactly where he stands on 2A issues. What a turd.

[Guest slim]

I am shocked and happy, hope it and the Park's bill will make it!

[raydog1]

Huzzah! Thanks to those updating. Most suspenseful thread ever!

[Guest Seminole]

So apparently the curfew was still attached. Hopefully the Senate will kill that provision next week.

[Guest Bronker]

Anyone have a link to the actual vote? Want to see how my rep voted. I just have a sneaky suspicion that I should be angry with David Shepard D-Dickson.

On the Senate side, I'm proud to say we are well represented with a co-sponsor. And yes, a democrat.

[Volzfan]

If everything continues when would this actually become law and us be able to carry into restaurants?

[GLOCKMEISTER]

it will be awhile... probably July 1st or Jan 1st. Im kinda hoping the Senate can do better without a curfew. But I've said all along this is better then nothing... its all about baby steps.

Tennessean was quick to report on this:

"The House passed HB0962, the guns-in-restaurants bill that would allow handgun carry permit holders to take weapons into restaurants that serve alcohol. The bill, as amended, would ban those weapons from restaurants from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The bill now moves to the Senate, where it currently sits in committee. The House vote, 70-26, would be enough to override a potential veto by Gov. Phil Bredesen, who has said he’ll make his decision when, and if, a bill comes to his desk."

Now is the time for the editorials saying how the blood will flow through the aisles while you're eating your Bloomin Onion.

I think it'll show up on this summary page, but it's not updated yet.

I thought it was June 1st?

[Guest nraforlife]

If fiscal year its 7/1/2009

I couldn't care less about the 11pm curfew. I eat early and am usually in bed by 10pm.

Once the naysayers have been proven wrong again, it will be easier to get the curfew removed than with the uncertainty about it now. In the mean time, I'll be enjoying my meals out.

July 1 would be nice!

I stand corrected. David Shepard, D-Dickson, is actually a co-prime sponsor of the original bill.

Yay!!!
