That poll is in regards to carrying guns in bars. Last I heard, we were gonna carry in restaurants. Either way, added one to the + column.

I was eating dinner and desert was a can of pears.....you ever try to googlefu while chasing pears around the bottom of a can? Thank goodness it wasn't fruit salad....I would have not been able to trap the cherries NOR vote for gun owners rights! Life is tough that way sometimes.

Thanks for the linkage! Headed there now.

Guys, just an FYI to clear up a myth about the passed hb0962, if they serve liquor they are a restaurant not a bar. Under the passed language, any establishment that has a restaurant liquor license we can carry in once the law goes into effect if not posted.

There are not "bar" liquor licenses in TN, and if the state of TN grants a restaurant liquor license, they have verified for you that you can carry in the establishment. (With one minor exception that the liquor license only requires them to serve meals 4 days a week, not 5, but I seriously doubt many places being effected by that).

There are no "bars" in TN as far as the TN ABC is concerned. Places that only sell beer could still be an issue, depending on how the hotel is licensed, it could be an issue, other places the government owns, or 501c run community buildings could also be an issue. Everything else with a liquor license is safe to carry in, including places that we'd call "bars".

Sorry to keep harping on this issue, but I just want to clear up any misconceptions people have about where we can or can't carry.
