Restaurant Bill Veto Override Vote TODAY!

Big thanks to TFA Member Sam Cooper for monitoring the House schedule last night and his e-mail to the House Members below. The vote to override Bredesen's veto of our Restaurant Carry Bill is scheduled for today. Please contact your Rep and tell them you do not accept the message that Bredesen's prejudiced veto sent; that he trusts criminal predictors over Tennessee's responsible, legally armed citizens.

In Liberty,

Pat McGarrity
Director - Shelby County TFA

Representatives,

As the House stands in recess, the issue of the veto of SB3012 by Governor Bredesen is pending as unfinished business.

While we continue to hear this bill mischaracterized as "Guns in Bars", this certainly is not the intent of the bill. Yes, it does remove the prohibition of Hand Gun Carry permit holders carrying in all establishments that serve alcohol for on site consumption, it does place the responsibility where it belongs, with the owner or manager. This give the propriotor the right to decide what happens on their property. We have to accept that there are owners who have long wanted to welcome law abiding citizens into their place of business but have not been given that right.

During the short time following the passage of last years bill, I was able to go into several nice local restaurants that chose not to post a ban. I spoke with those propriotors and was advised by all of them that they welcome the law abiding citizen and know they have nothing to worry about. It should also be noted that during the short time beween passage and being struck down, that Tennessee experienced no incidents involving permit holders in any of those establishments.

We have to remember that the provisions of this bill continue to prohibit consumption of alcohol by persons in possession of a firearm and it retains the right of the owner or managment to post a prohibition if they choose.

With these things in mind, I urge you to OVERRIDE the veto of Governor Bredesen on SB 3012 as has been done in the Senate.

Thank you

Well it is after 6 in Nashville, any word yet on how late they are going to work?

any update?

recess

If they didnt vote on it today Id say its dead.

so is what i'm watching of the house right now not live? it's 8:45pm eastern time.

Stacy Campfield just told me on facebook it will be tommorrow.

Cange from Campfield it will be tonight

Let's have a little faith...

Is the veto override posted on the House Calendar that is shown with the House video? I haven't seen it on there. Does it come after the varioous calendars are finished under "old business"?

SB 3012 is not on a calender, it will be taken up under Unfinished Business, the calenders will have to be cleared, or, rolling the remainder to the next session will have to occur before it can be considered.

Thanks!

Did anyone catch what time they went into recess and for how long?

They took an hour and a half lunch break late in the afternoon, supposedly for a 3:30p.m. "Call to Order." They didn't actually get started back until 4:00p.m.

I was trying to follow them through the calendar when I could, but had to leave the computer. When I came back, they were in recess - I have no idea of how much they have left to clear from the calendar. While I would like to go to bed with this override completed, I'm not sure they are going to get to it tonight... Anyone have any ideas what else was left to clear?

Mike

Hm. It might be going up for voting now... Maybe!

OVERRIDDEN!!! 61-30

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
