He also noted that guest safety is a top priority, and that management and staff are trained to take swift action to resolve potential threats.

What kind of action? Call 911?

And here the only reason I never ate there was the shitty food. Making a new checkbox...

so how exactly will business owners know if someone who is carrying a gun is violating the law by having a drink? seems like the new law is rather silent on any enforcement issues of these regulations.

He also noted that the company has procedures in place to monitor alcohol consumption and management and servers are trained to avoid over serving.

It's not the over-serving that is an issue. It is the fact that they probably won't ask if you are carrying concealed before they serve you alcohol at all. Even one drink CAN affect your judgment and reflexes...that is my biggest problem with this whole issue. I think anyone that has taken the time to go through the training and weapons safety courses offered by the state should be allowed to carry, but NOT in bars or restaurants where a calm good time can quickly turn into an alcohol-fueled mayhem. I know too many people who THINK they can hold their liquor well enough that they would NOT abstain from drinking when they are carrying and THAT is a recipe for disaster.

C'mon what'll it be, bud? No really. That's the only beer we carry: Bud. Oh yeah, we do also have Bud Light.

Do you ever eat out when traveling outside of TN? Then you have been visiting restaurants that serve alcohol and allow handgun carry. This is nothing new. Over 30 states allow handgun carry in restaurants that serve alcohol - and many of those permit the consumption of alcohol while carrying. Get your panties out of a wad...
