Obviously.......sticks, bats and knives should be banned next.

Sadly, it probably wouldn't have mattered in this case. Most states, TN included, will not let you carry a gun under the influence. So, had he been carrying in the bar, he would have been in the wrong, and if he had successful defended his self, he would still be facing a long jail sentence.

I believe that TN is wrong too about how it limits the rights of the people. In VA you can carry openly into a bar.

I agree. I think you should be able to carry any firearm, in any manner you wish, anywhere you wish to carry it.

Might be wrong but i believe you would not be charged for carrying while imbibing as long as your self defense shooting was otherwise legal

You can also now carry concealed in a VA bar with a permit. The "Virginia Tuck" is gone.

With a permit you can carry openly or concealed into a bar in TN, unless it is posted.
