One shot, HEY! MAS TEQUILA

Free beer?

So?

more hilarious Fark headlines. They tend to go wrong by design, IMO.

Minnesota has a conceal and carry law and I've seen no problems so far. If an establishment doesn't want guns on their premises, then they state so with a sign before you enter the building.

Dinki: Hey, if you are truly for gun owners rights, how can you not support this? After all, aren't the vast majority of gun owners law abiding citizens?

Until they get drunk and try to show their buddy the new pistol they just bought.

Nothing will go wrong. If you know whats good for you.

Yeah! And if you're for the right to operate a vehicle, why not decriminalize DUI/DWI! Right on, brother, keep telling it like it isn't!

If it means a bunch of Tennesseans will get drunk and kill each other, then nothing can go wrong.

burn the leftovers?

guess which state?

i'm a tennesee politician and i'm really getting a kick out of these replies

As a Tennessean, I support this move. Less government please, kthnxbai.

Hmmm...sounds like there might be some trouble from this, but I don't think it's necessarily as horrible as people think. A person who's going to use a gun in a liquor store is going to use it, law or not.

The downside is that it might cause a few people to try and be heroes and stop a criminal holding up a liquor store with thier guns. Seems like such a waste on either side, but hell, just like a criminal, a person who wants to carry will likely carry law or not.

You would get rid of a lot od people stupid enough to fark with a drunk armed person?

A lot of drunk armed people would learn to walk with a limp?



ooooh! guns! Scary!

Gun fear is just as bad as the kind of stupid fear preached by the extreme right wingers.

FuelCycle:

Should probably outlaw driving to bars and liquor stores, too. After all, they'll just get drunk and show their buddies how fast the new car they bought will go.

Making law abiding citizens who are legally allowed to carry a concealed pistol unconceal that pistol in a public place and then leave that pistol in a public place is stupid.

Meh. As a few farkers have already pointed out this is Tennessee we're talking about. I would wager that most liquor stores have a requirement that you show your piece before entering...

/ heh heh heh. I said "piece"

binarycow: Minnesota has a conceal and carry law and I've seen no problems so far. If an establishment doesn't want guns on their premises, then they state so with a sign before you enter the building.

In Texas, if the place gets 51% or more of its income from the sale of alcohol, it's a felony even if you have a CHL. Is it not like that in Minnesota?

Didn't we just do one of these threads a little further down the page?

submitter: What could possibly go wrong?

They'll forget to sell drunk hunting tags?

==================================

You get drunk at the liqour store?


/You're running with the wrong crowd.

fark it, we give weapons to mongoloids all the time. What difference does it make if they're drunk?

Most people are idiots. Idiots with guns scare me. Drunk idiots with guns scare me shiatless.

That said, in this country shouldn't you have the right to legally pack heat? I may not agree with it but that's the way it is.

I can think of 300 things I am more concerned with than this...

Nothing. Bars would still be free to have a no-weapons policy.

DROxINxTHExWIND: You get drunk at the liqour store?


/You're running with the wrong crowd.


Like you've never wanted to sample any of the booze in the store before you bought it ...

I guarantee exponentially more people are severely injured or killed every year in bars due to words being exchanged, and fights ensuing, than due to guns. Which using current logic leads me to believe we should restrict free speech within bars.

Many states (mine included) already allow this and blood does not flow in the streets the way the gun-grabbers would have you believe.

What goes *right* is that legal, law-abiding gun owners have one less place to worry about when traversing the minefield of "Where is it legal for me to carry a gun to protect myself?".

what could possibly happen

Nobody would try to rob the bar.

Hmm..I noticed the lack of pantywaists crying on here...clicked on the article...I'll be damned, it's a DEMOCRAT.


Yeah, you can't make fun of your own.



/Buncha pussies.

There is a liqour store I have visited before where the owner more or less states that he has a gun (via a sign on the door).

Makes me feel kind of safer, I guess.

Where else can you find a well regulated militia, if not in a bar?

I don't see any problems with this. I have a conceal permit that is good for 9 states. I am allowd to bring my weapon just about anywhere, including bars and LQ stores. Time and time again stats have proven that more weapons turns into less violent crime.

Seems to me that decision should be in the hands of the private liquor store and bar owners. The government should have no say in it either way.

*Goes to read TFA*

Yep, that's pretty much what the law says. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Most states that allow concealed carry don't have any restrictions on carrying into places that serve alcohol. Has anyone heard of any horrible repercussions yet?

*crickets chirping*

A drop in crime at both of these sorts of locations?

Anyone who thinks mixing guns and alcohol (publicly) will raise crime or accidents has obviously never been hunting in Tennessee. My guess, no one will notice...

//From Georgia, before you check my profile.

mikaloyd: For the lazy coonts who cannot be asked to read an article before posting

SB0023 allows anyone that "has a permit to carry a handgun to carry (it) in places where alcohol is served for consumption on premises," as long as the person is not consuming alcohol and as long as the owners of the premises have not banned weapons from the premises and posted proper notification of the ban.


It isnt as bad as it sounds in the headline.

The second part is what makes me nervous.

SB0038 "requires local governments to be responsible for the payment of any judgment or award against them for all actual medical costs even if such costs exceed the applicable liability limits under the Governmental Tort Liability Act."

So, even if the person isn't drinking, but does something stupid with said gun (because alcohol isn't the controller of stupid acts, it just helps them along), the government has to clean up. Sounds like 'nanny state' to me.

I am definitely for gun owners rights. But anyone who thinks Guns and Booze mix needs to have his head removed from his nether parts.
