Banning guns in… Tennessee?
It would be a travesty if this bill becomes law.
Handgun permit holders would not be able to carry weapons into Tennessee establishments that predominantly serve alcohol under a proposal that passed a key legislative committee on Tuesday and is headed for a full House vote.
The proposal sponsored by Republican Rep. Curry Todd of Collierville was approved 20-6 by the House Finance Committee on Tuesday and will now be scheduled for a vote on the House floor. The companion bill is also awaiting a Senate floor vote.
Todd’s original proposal sought to allow handgun owners to carry weapons where alcoholic beverages are served unless posted otherwise.
But the measure was amended to require establishments whose food sales are less than 50 percent to prohibit guns. Other establishments that predominantly serve food could still “choose to prohibit guns in their establishments.”
Ridiculous. If you live in Tennessee please contact your representatives and get them to vote against this assault on your Second Amendment right.
