Have you seen any "no guns" signs at restaurant
s? I have not seen any "no guns" signs in restaurant
s here in Memphis, however, who in their right mind would allow people to take guns into a place where alcohol is being served? That's crazy. Apparently , our law makers have fallen off of their rockers once again. Why not let the people of Tennessee have a say so in this matter? Guns and alcohol DOES NOT MIX!!!! -

Re: Have you seen any "no guns" signs at restaurant
s? I have not seen any signs. I would like to add the following from a letter to the editor in the Commercial Appeal regarding the phrase "guns in bars" that I hear so often in the media: ‘Guns in bars’? Not exactly
Many people seem to misunderstand or ignore a key provision of the bill recently passed by the Tennessee legislature which allows a person with a pistol permit to be legally armed in establishments where alcohol is served as long as he or she is not consuming alcohol. One reason may be the continued headlines in The Commercial Appeal, which always refer to the bill as the “guns in bars” bill. A bar is a place where alcohol is served for consumption on the premises and a restaurant is a place where food is served and alcohol may be served. If a customer with a pistol permit enters a restaurant and chooses to drink, the new law will be exactly the same as the existing law. It is and will remain illegal. The legislation does not permit “guns in bars” in the way it is sometimes interpreted.
Some people ask what liability a restaurant owner will have if customers are allowed to be legally armed. It seems to me that the question should be: What liability does the owner face if customers are prohibited the means of defending themselves, and a customer is attacked and killed or seriously injured in the restaurant or in the parking lot? If I were on a jury presented with that scenario, I would believe that the restaurant owner was negligent in his duty to provide for the safety of his customers.-

"No Guns" signs at restaurant
s There are far too many points to touch on in regards to the controversy that has risen due to a law that has been passed to allow handgun carry permit holders to carry guns into restaurants serving alcohol. So, I will try to focus on a particular scope, which deals with the rights of handgun permit owners and the rights of business owners, in this posting. Before I tell my viewpoints on this law, I want my audience to know that I am open to others' opinions and respect their thoughts as long as they can back their beliefs up with some kind of reasoning or knowledge.
I got my handgun permit before this new law was passed and always found that not allowing handgun permit owners to carry their guns into restaurants left a number of people vulnerable to a number of problems. Some of these problems include being defenseless coming to a from a restaurant, having your gun stolen from your vehicle because you couldn't carry the weapon into the restaurant, more illegal guns on the streets possessed by criminals who steal your gun from your car, and being defenseless against those who chose to carry weapons into restaurants no matter what the law is. So, I am happy and proud this law was passed. I do, however, respect the wishes of business owners who do not allow guns in their establishments. Any business, restaurant or other, has always had the right to not allow guns in their establishments. If they don't want my and many others business, that's their loss.
Another point I wish to make is that the previous law banned guns from establishments where alcohol was being served for on-site consumption. The previous law never said that you couldn't carry your firearm into businesses that sell alcohol such as liquor stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and so on. This section is for you liquor store owners who think that there is a law that states one who has a handgun carry permit cannot carry their weapon(s) into your store. If you wish to post a sign on your front door that tells your customers that guns are not allowed in the store, that is your choice and right, but don't say that one can't carry his/her gun into your store because it is illegal.
