Gun Toting While Tippling In Tennessee
In response to last month’s fatal shooting at a Hooters in Tennessee, lawmaker think they have come up with a nifty way to ensure such things never happen again.
They want to make it lawful to carry a gun in establishments serving alcohol.
Oh, but there’s no need to worry that someone might get all liquored up and start shooting, folks, because the bill says you can’t touch the firewater if you’re packing heat. Besides, restaurant owners can post signs telling people that guns aren’t allowed.
Of course, that pretty much assumes that people in Tennessee can actually read….

Well, if everybody else is armed, I want to be packing, too.

Seems to me that any place that prohibits law-abiding citizens from carrying there guns there, will be assured that the only armed people there are not-law-abiding.

If someone’s determined to carry a gun into a bar they’re going to do it regardless of whether the law says they can. Witness, for instance, the guy who committed the shootings that prompted this bill.
By making it legal, it leads law-abiding folks to figure “Well, other people might have guns on them so I better bring mine, too.”
After that, it only takes one idiot pulling a gun in a bar fight to turn what could’ve been a mere brawl into a bloody mess.
Different states have different statutes regarding the legal carrying of a weapon. In Texas, where I legally carry, you’ve committed a crime if your BAC hits a mark that is actually below that of the limit for driving. Just remember that only law-abiding folks abide by laws. Isn’t public brawling against the law?

The key phrase there, Ben, was ‘pines for the pines’ instead of saying you were ‘pahnin for the pahns’.
