Handguns will be permitted in bars and restaurants in Tennessee starting next month after a new law was passed. The law, which takes effect July 14, comes after state legislators voted to override the governor's veto. The legislation retains an existing ban on consuming alcohol while carrying a handgun, and restaurant owners can still opt to ban weapons from their establishments. In Memphis, many bar owners are appalled by new legislation and are posting signs in their windows making it clear that weapons aren't allowed inside, despite what will soon become legal in the state.
