The purpose of this blog is simple: we are creating a list of restaurants in Tennessee that prohibits weapons on their premises for anyone not in law enforcement. I believe, as the majority of Tennesseans do, that no one should carry a gun into a restaurant or bar unless one is a member of law enforcement.
Safe from the law-abiding and their money. A list of establishments to not patronize. Here’s a few to add.

Left a little love note. This should be fun!

You know, American Signature Furniture has no-guns signs on their door. Here in Florida, it doesn’t amount to anything, but I refuse to do business with them because of it.
I’ve often wanted to stand in front of the store with a big sign indicating that criminals are safe to rob the store without fear of being shot at, but alas I could not stomach the thought of actively giving a criminal an easier time at plying his trade. I’d also feel bad if anyone was ever hurt because of it.
However, if you’re so inclined, you could stand outside of those eateries with such a sign. I bet their business would drop like a brick.

I left a little “Welcome to California” note too.

I love that the antis are keeping a list for us. That is so nice of them.

I stopped by and thanked them for their efforts – saves me the trouble, after all.

Great list, was hoping for something like this to come out. Thanks a lot. I will never go to a neely’s again.

“I love that the antis are keeping a list for us. That is so nice of them.”
Yeah, if we’d made the list ourselves, we’d be accused of some wrong-doing.
I wonder when cops are going to get drunk and start a shootout. After all, what’s stopping them? Or are they just a better species?

The comments, thus far, are fantastic.

Yeah, police, the safe species. Like the one that got drunk and beat the crap out of the little bartender in Chicago not too long ago. I think it was in Chicago.

Look at the pic of the sign at the link. On it is a suction-cup dart gun drawn to represent all those evil guns.
I think the restaurant owner carefully gauged his clientele’s politics and put up a sign that any licensed carrier will ignore as a joke, and any hoplophobe will feeeeeeel better seeing it.
My bank in TX does this same thing. They have on their door a sticker comprised of a silhouette of a scary, evil military-style handgun, a Beretta 92, with a red circle and bar over the gun. This means nothing per Texas law, which requires the aptly numbered 30-06 sign to bar licensed concealed handgun carry on the premises. The sign is of specified size lettering and specific wording. Anything else is just a joke among gun carriers. But the hoplophobes feeeeeeeeel better because of it.
