Some say new permitless carry law means greater responsibility for bars and restaurants

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – July marks the first month permitless carry has been legal in Tennessee, allowing adults 21 and older to carry a gun without a permit or concealed carry license. 

With the new law, there are restrictions on where someone can carry. The law does not allow a person who has been drinking to carry and some believe restaurants and bars play a key role in making sure that’s enforced. 

*****

While I'm generally against anything being mandated by either State or Federal law, it's a must for any new gun owner or anybody carrying a weapon to learn the laws as well as the ins and outs of carrying or using a firearm.
That includes how it functions as well as local and State laws. You need to know all this shit - it may save your life (as well as any innocent bystanders) and it'll keep you from being arrested and charged for say, having a single beer in a restaurant with your meal or carrying your firearm in a park while you watch your kids or grandkids play.
It's not the city's, bar's or restaurant's responsibility, it's yours.
