Actually, the 2nd Amendment reads “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. Many would argue that the words “regulated” and “militia” may not apply to someone packing heat at the local TGIFridays.

I was not surprised to hear of the ruling from a female judge in Nashville who said the recently passed Bill to allow guns in bars was unconstitutional. This so-called judge is not only wrong but apparently also uneducated in the U.S. Constitution she swore to uphold. The 2nd Amend says directly that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The only restraint indicated in the Constitution is when a person is held for a crime under the 5th Amend. This judge shows her liberal bias moreover by ignoring the fact that those who are allowed under this Bill to carry weapons in bars have gone through background checks. We certainly have an element within the judicial community within this State and Country that are imbued with a certain degree of judicial imprudence. I would include here Mr. Gibbons who supported Mr. Bredesen’s veto of the Bill.

Like most of you, I would like to see what part of the Constitution this utterly asinine ruling allegedly “violates.”

The most dangerous thing in this otherwise great nation is any libtard twunt with the power to make, enforce or interpret laws of any kind.

In Nashville it is legal to carry a gun on your hip. It doesn’t have to be concealed. I go to Starbucks and here comes a guy with a gun on his hip in full view. Why, oh why, does a guy need a gun at Starbucks? I agree with carrying anywhere you want. But does it have to be out in the open? Isn’t that just advertising for a problem?

Yet another example of MegaCorpGov sticking its gangrenous nose where it doesn’t belong.

This is good because people in those other 37 states make it a habit of getting drunk and shooting up the bars, right? /sarcasm

When I’m in Tennessee the old law still doesn’t stop me from carrying in a restaurant that serves alcohol. I don’t go to places like crapplebees to drink and I will gladly take the misdemeanor offense (if caught) if it means I have the ability to protect myself and my family, thank you…

Restaurant owners and any business owner should have the right to make rules on whether they want guns in their establishments. In places where there are lots of intoxicated people it is highly inappropriate to have loaded weapons. Drunk people will grab the guns, or start fights that escalate into gun battles when they normally would end with bloody noses.

You don’t need your darned gun everywhere you go. If you do, then you are in the wrong neighborhood and you should stay indoors.

If you’re going into a bar that you find so damn seedy and sketchy that you feel the need to protect your person, than maybe you should drink elsewhere! Seriously! WTF? Real licensed gun owners don’t hang out in seedy joints, and probably wouldn’t argue about the law. So who’s left? The thug with a gun that’s got the serial number scraped off!

Here is a tip: if you do not want to enter a bar without a gun, there may be something wrong with the bar, or yourself.

So, wait a minute. A law that allows guns, supporting the 2nd amendment of the Constitution, is unconstitutional?
