Messed Up Email Of The Day: More signs needed
by
Today’s Messed Up Email of the Day comes from a viewer that think we need more signs to let people know whether they are in a bar or a restaurant.
No one else is looking at the money side of the issue and I thought you might be the man to do it because it is MESSED UP.
The new law allows THP holders to carry in restaurants that also serve alcohol but not in bars (greater than 50% or more of revenue from alcohol). Many say that there are not bars in TN. According to the legal definitions of bars and restaurnats there are bars. So I assume that there are “bars” operating illegaly under a restaurant license.
Usually when there is this much smoke being generated on a subject it is being fuled by MONEY.
It would be interesting to check the licenses of establishments which serve alcohol and appear not to meet the restaurant requirements, kithcen, seating, cooks , servers number of meals served daily and weekly and food income over 50% of total income… pickled pig’s feet and peanuts don’t count.
Somebody somewhere stands to loose some money somewhere.
Thanks,
DougPS: Solution is really simple. Put up accurate signs on the businesses: THIS IS A BAR or THIS IS A RESTAURANT
I think restaurants should post signs if they allow guns inside. Then I can decide to eat there or not.
Well, Jay, if there is no sign then guns are allowed.
Not too hard to figure out…
CSR, Lets make it far easier, if they allow guns put up a sign that says so.
Jay, let’s follow the law - unless the restaurant says otherwise, guns are allowed. It’s so simple even the anti-gun bedwetters should have no problem deciding if they want to eat dinner or run away crying and shaking in fear.
I find it amusing that very, very few restaurants are opting out - despite the gloom and doom scenarios thrown out there by the fearmongers.
