More guns less condescension!
R. Neal on the guns in bars bill:
Yes, that’s just what we need. More yahoos with more guns in more places.
Yes, because everyone with a permit to lawfully carry a firearm is a yahoo. Been writing Obama’s stuff?
Anyway, most of our neighbor states have such a provision and no increase in violence at restaurants has been reported.

Does Tennessee have a professional basketball team? I ask only because in Indiana where bar carry is legal, the only people shooting up bars are members of the Pacers. So if you have a pro basketball team, you might worry.

Yeah, but it’s on my end of the state, so we’re not sure if it’s the Grizz, or just the other 200+ shooters we have here.

Notice how the “I hate guns but I have them” stuff is always in TennViews and not KnoxViews?
Always the Yahoo bit. Only Yahoo’s have guns.

Despite Indiana allowing carry dang near anywhere compared to Tennessee, I haven’t seen one single gunfight since I got here. Not even in a bar. I think I’ve been lied to.

Tam, you just need to roll in the wilds of Fishers, we get into running gunfights from our SUVs in traffic all the time.

Georgia has a bill pending (passed house and senate) that would allow firearms in restaurants that server booze as long as you do not drink any.
There is still opposition to it even though you can’t drink. People are saying crap like, oh is the waiter going to have to check your age and ask if you are carrying before they serve you alcohol.
You can tell these people have no clue as to what logic is. If it is currently illegal to carry into the restaurant that serves alcohol and that law is followed (gasp, no shootouts by licensed people) then it sort of follows that those same people will follow a law that says no drinking while carrying inside that restaurant.
The Media in Georgia (Macon for example) keep trying to skew the bill. Macon did a report at a restaraunt about letting gun owners carry inside and the lady that was interviewed said it would probably not be a good thing. Only the reporter forgot to ask if that restaraunt even sold booze, which they dont, so it is currently legal to carry into that restaraunt. If I were the reporter, the followup question of the “not a good thing” comment would have been: “so how much trouble have you had in the past since it is currently legal to carry here?”

Interesting… in Oregon a CHL holder is allowed into bars and restaurants while carrying. Not only that but it is perfectly legal to consume alcohol products while doing so, too. I’ve had my CHL for over to 10 years and have never heard of any problems as a result of this.

you should see some of the jackass replies of “look at these links of violence!!11one”, one of which is about a gun fight in QUEENS, of all places. Cause i’m sure the people involved in that were carrying legally. (
April 14th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
My point exactly ATL. His so called links are to places with restrictive handgun laws. Nice. Reading is fundamental.

Heh. Now I’m a racist! And if you’re expecting sense to come from whitescreek, forget it: he and reality got a divorce a bit back.
April 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Well, you know how i feel about such people. Treasonous jackholes who should find their backs up against the wall on the Glorious Day™

Threatening to shoot people or saying they should be shot gives gun nuts a bad name.

All repeals of second amendment violations result in Wild West violence™, doncha know?
Blood runs in the streets of Vermont and Alaska.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Wow. That’s the best they can come up with?
April 14th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
OK, so … let me get this straight. The thinking is that folks that legally carry with permits can do so out on the street, in public, in stores and in their cars and wherever they go … and they aren’t out there shooting everything up and killing everyone in sight. But if they go into a restaurant that serves alcohol (or a school, or a national park, or a college campus, etc.) then those same folks will all of a sudden become crazed, bloodthirsty psychos that shoot people at random. Is that how it goes?
April 14th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I agree. Even hanging is too good for ’em. ( scroll up to 03:40 )

Just incase you were wondering more about the Macon story.

That’s the way the libs want to believe us to be. They have nothing factual to back up their claims so they try to make us look like animals. Lies and slander, the lib’s only tools.

I’m a Yahoo now? this is a first for me! I was once called a M-F’ing Honkie and a N_lover in the same afternoon…Is this an improvement?
April 14th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Actually, i say shoot cause it’s the most expedient.
When it comes to the Bill of Rights, NOT ONE is negotiable in any way. Anyone who wants to chip away at the unalienable rights of free men deserve expulsion or the above. But if it gives a bad name to gun nuts, ropes, swords, big mounds of earth, etc., will do just fine. 😉

ATLien,
As I’ve said before:
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Jury Box, ………………………………………………….Ammo Box.
We’ve been winning at the first two pretty handily, and it looks positive on the third. We are a hell of a long way from the fourth.
LissaKay,
You know as well as I do, that CHP holders are 33 times more likely to shoot their kids when they’re hogging the Bloomin’ Onion™.
