Boy I bet old randy rayburn is despondant this morning. He is probably going to find the tallest building in Nashville, and threaten to jump. Of course no one would really care if he did. I bet he tries to sue again to get the law ruled as unconstitutional. I hope he does and losses all his money and has to file bankruptcy. Perhaps then he would learn his lesson. I dont wish ill toward anyone really but man I really dislike rayburn.

I'm sure he and his friends read these threads. If so, I'd like to extend my personal thanks to him for bringing this about. We couldn't have done this without you and your legal team!

We probably couldn't have raised the funds to overturn the more restrictive law, and we appreciate your time, money and effort to get us where we are. Thanks!

Maybe we'll get an even better law next year...

The House on Friday joined the Senate in overriding Gov. Phil Bredesen's veto of a bill that lets handgun carry permit holders take their weapons into bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.

House members voted 61-30 for the override as they tried to wrap up business for the night. The override was expected — the legislation had cleared both chambers by wide margins — and lawmakers held no debate before voting.

"I have a speech prepared here, but ladies and gentlemen, I'm not going to read it," the bill's sponsor, Rep. Curry Todd of Collierville, said when offered the chance to speak. "You know how you're going to vote."

Previous law let people with handgun carry permits take their weapons into restaurants that do not serve alcohol. Under the new law, permit holders will be able to take a handgun into any bar or restaurant, but they are not allowed to drink while carrying.

Bars and restaurants can opt out of the law by posting a sign banning handguns at the door.

either way they can't win because the "safety" issue would have to apply statewide through ALL businesses and employers, not just those who serve alcohol, due to the alcohol issue being addessed in the fact that it is illegal to drink while armed.
