Even Jonny's Sports Bar Bans Handguns
Since her husband was shot to death in a Nashville sports bar this spring, Nikki Goeser has become the public face of the NRA's campaign to make it legal for Tennessee's licensed gunmen to go armed into drinking establishments. She contends that if she'd only had a gun with her at Jonny's Sports Bar, she could have saved her husband's life.
"Yes, a gun can kill but, in the correct hands, it can also be used to save innocent lives," she says on this video in which she demonstrates her skill on a shooting range.
Well, it turns out that even the folks at Jonny's apparently don't buy the NRA's logic. The Nolensville Road bar is one of many that have posted signs banning handguns on their premises. Pith called Jonny's and asked to speak to the owner or manager. The guy who came to the phone confirmed Jonny's has banned guns but wouldn't talk about it. He said other media outlets know Jonny's has banned guns but have agreed not to report this news for reasons that escape Pith.
"We put the signs up," he said, "but I don't want to be quoted at all."
Update: The Tennessee Firearms Association produces handy cards to blackmail restauranters.
