Challenge "Guns-in-bars" Law: Nashville attorneys David Randolph Smith & Adam Dread

My interpretation is that they are going to file against Senator Jackson and Representative Todd on the grounds that they misrepresented the facts in their argument with regards to the number of states already allowing carry in restaurants that serve.

I agree with you, but this thing is not 100% over yet and I didn't get all suited up just to be ahead and then walk off the field before the forth quarter ended.

That would be a very dangerous precedent to sue every politician for every inaccurate statement made. Hell! You could sue all of them for that! LOL!

OMG...LOL...what next?!?

First I don't think Rep Todd or Sen Jackson misrepresented anything, but there is plenty of misrepresentation on the floor at any given time....and even some flat out lies. What in the world does that have do with any piece of legislation that is passed?

It's sort of like in court...a statement from a lawyer is not fact or evidence when questioning a witness or talking to the jury.

I completely agree with you Fallguy. I guess my point is that even as absurd as this is, I would hate to get this far and then let some Attorney screw it up on a trumped up technicality.

According to Adam Dread:
"“We’re going to build a coalition of like-minded folks who want to do everything we can to keep Nashville safer,” Dread said."

Really - well why don't you focus on getting rid of the illegals and the gang bangers in Nashville and surrounding cities rather than wasting your time trying to trample on the rights of law abiding citizens you clown!!!

You answered your own question...he's a clown.

That would seem to be the case... You can make a much better argument that working in a smoke filled restaurant is a greater health risk than people around you carrying guns... Yet if you brought a suit it would have to be against your own employer and likely the case would be thrown out as you choose to work there, you can always get a job where people don't smoke or don't carry guns...

This just won't fly imho.

Why do I get the feeling you guys may have just offended clowns everywhere?

Oh, and kdpate... you're more than welcome to that particular task. I don't think any of the rest of us want any part of it.

What is really disingenuous is their pointing out that he owns a handgun like that validates him somehow.

Jesus, they just won't let it go will they? I wonder if other states had this much opposition. The Naifeh effect is just like cancer. I was thinking, maybe we all could pool together some $$$$$ and rent some billboards across the state and have the law stating permit holders cannot drink and carry and the new "restaurant carry" law along with the process an individual has to go through to obtain a permit. Obviously, politicians, liberals, anti gunners, lawyers, councilmen, and media doesn't know how to do their homework.
