YA GONNA DRAW THEM PISTOLS OR WHISTLE DIXIE

Hello Speakies:

Here’s an interesting story I heard last night on the CBS Evening News. The great state of Tennessee has passed a law making it legal to bring concealed handguns into a restaurant or a bar. Here’s the most important part of that bill, the owner must be licensed to carry a concealed weapon. Tell me is every restaurant or bar owner going to check to see if a person has a gun and is licensed to carry a weapon, I think not.

Imagine, you are on vacation in Tennessee. It’s a Sunday afternoon and you decide to stop at a local sports bar. Guess what the Eagles are playing the Titans and you are downing suds and cheering on the Eagles. Some big bubba next to you doesn’t like your choice of teams and out comes a 9mm and you are on the floor with your Budweiser sitting on the bar missing you. Sounds like shades of the Old West to me. Would you really feel comfortable going to any restaurant or bar in Davy Crockettville? If I remember correctly didn’t Wyatt Earp have everyone who came to Dodge City check their guns in until they left town.

Why not give everyone a gun and holster and we can proudly display our manhood or womanhood by the notches we have on the handle. Imagine Granny Jones playing bingo and needing one number for the jackpot, out comes B-18 and little Annie Fanny cries out BINGO, Pow Pow down goes Annie Fanny. Granny really needed that jackpot money for some cigs and beer. See what I mean things like that can happen. With all the concerns we have in this country, the economy, health care, education and so forth, the idiot legislation of Tennessee voted on allowing this law to pass. I understand 21 other states have that same law on the books. Get with it Mr. Congressmen and vote for the real needs of the people.
