Guns In Bars, Part Two

As reported, here, at Bad Lawyer the hillbilly state legislators of Tennessee enacted over the Govenor's veto, a bill that enabled morons with gun permits to pack heat in Tennessee bars and restaurants serving alcohol.  Because, nothing says "welcome to Junior's Bar-B-Q" like a little gunsmoke.  Within a month of the enactment, a state court judge struckdown the legislation.

Well according to our friends at the Tennessean, why little a common sense get in the way of a good time, they are reporting, "Sen. Doug Jackson, the Dickson Democrat who sponsored the original bill, said he plans to file legislation that would allow handgun carry permit holders to take their guns into restaurants and bars that are licensed to sell liquor by the drink. The legislation, which is being reviewed by Senate staff attorneys before it can be filed, would not apply to places that serve beer only."

I worry about the dying out of representative democracy and then you come across this sort of thing, and it gives me pause.  Maybe, representative democracy is overrated.  These dumb bastards in the state legislature of Tennessee are going to ruin a fantastic and fun tourist industry with their NRA-posturing demagoguery.
