Gun Free Dining Tennessee
Turns out a few of the featured restaurants and businesses involved in this ridiculous website don’t actually post signs on their property. Heh.

I reckon they still want hungry customers.

For several years now, TN gun carry permit holders have had legal and easy access to alcohol in gas station convenience stores, grocery stores and liquor stores and there hasn’t been the “mix of guns and alcohol” that they so fear. Maybe they’ve checked the crime stats for HCP holders and seen that it is in stark constrast to their pronouncements of prejudice and bigotry.

The Missus took me to eat at a local restaurant down here in sunny South Florida. There was a bar and everything but still, I did not become a nutcase and started to shoot the place up. Come to think of we haven’t had a case in Florida since we became the Gunshine State. Maybe is the sun?

I see all my town is listed as “Not Yet contacted”. I’ll save them some time – none are posted.

The anti-gunners here in TN claim we don’t need our guns in restaurants. But the point is that some of us choose to be armed going to and from these establishments rather than being forced to leave our weapons unattended in vecicles. Most anti-gunners claim to be “liberals” who normally are defenders of “civil liberties”. Well then, choosing to carry the means of armed self-defense is an enumerated RIGHT (Article I, Section 26, Tennessee Declaration of Rights).
What other enumerated Constitutional rights exercised by a minority would they have legislated away for the whims of the supposed majority?

“For several years now, TN gun carry permit holders have had legal and easy access to alcohol in gas station convenience stores, grocery stores and liquor stores and there hasn’t been the “mix of guns and alcohol” that they so fear.”
Not to mention the HUGE number of states that simply don’t worry about WHERE you carry, but HOW you carry (open/concealed, sober/drunk, Permit/Without)
There is no blood in the streets of these states that don’t give a shit if I pack a loaded gun into an honest-to-god BAR, so long as I conduct myself like a responsible adult while I’m there.
Really we should point out how backwards and fearful the states are that worry about such foolish details.

Looks like a great list of places I would not visit…. Vote with your wallets!

@Gunmart: Before I did that, I wanted to contact some of the restaurants that were on the list. I saw Joe’s Crabshack on that site being listed as prohibiting carry, and since they are a chain with locations here in Central Florida, I contacted them to see if prohibiting CCW was company policy.
That was 2 weeks ago, and I have gotten no answer.

LOL. I searched my Tennessee zip code on the web site’s Find a Restaurant feature. ALL of them note “Not yet contacted.” I am underwhelmed.
1) I like my part of town.
2) Who are the 3 people who are actually behind that web site?
3) Ho, hum, yawn, this whole movement will be a big success, no doubt.

Weer’d,
I’ve always wondered why pro gun folks don’t use that as a tactic against the anti’s. Along the lines of; Joe Schmuck and his anti group seems to think Tennesseans are stupid or incompetent compared to residents of [fill in rival state here]. Why does Joe hate tennesseans. [Rival state] doesn’t have these problems, does Joe think they are better than us?

RC, as I’ve said before, it’s because we Tennessean HCL’s are so much more prone to spontaneous violence than our counterparts in 35(?) other states.
