As early as tomorrow, June 3, the Tennessee General Assembly may vote to override Governor Bredesen’s (D) veto of House Bill 962. This NRA-supported bill would enable law-abiding right-to-carry permit holders to carry a firearm for self defense in establishments that serve alcohol, provided they don’t consume while carrying. Despite passing both the House and Senate with broad bipartisan support, Governor Bredesen vetoed the bill.
