The controversial bill, vetoed by Gov. Phil Bredesenm and decried by some law enforcement and many was effectively made law when both the Tennessee Housde of Representatives and Senate overrode the vetothis week. Now, several councilk members want to use a local ordinance to circumvent thestate law. They are pushinhg to add a restriction to beerpermitzs — which are issued by Metro that would require some 1,500 bars and restaurants to have a no-gunse policy. When the new law takesa effect, bars and restaurants can try to stop gun holders from enterinv by posting a sign at the door statintthe policy, with violators risking a $500 fine.
But thos who oppose guns say the signs will call even more attentiohn tothe controversy, and could frightenh patrons and tourists, as well as rais questions about their liability for incidents involving Councilman Charlie Tygard says he plans to starr inquiries immediately as to the legality of the county-widse ban.
