It was bound to happen

By | August 23, 2011

In every state where Restaurant Carry has been proposed, opponents have screamed this would happen:

Patron arrested after putting gun to waiter’s head

The argument is that even though it is illegal to drink while carrying, waiters would be forced at gunpoint to serve alcohol to permit holders. Well, it looks like it only took two years for that to happen in Tennessee.

Oh, except the guy wasn’t drinking. Or eating. Or a customer at all. And he didn’t have a permit. And isn’t legally allowed to have a handgun in the first place. And this didn’t happen inside a restaurant.

So, other than that, this is a perfect example!

    At least he was nice enough to do it outside with an unloaded gun. What a (insert inappropriateword here).
