Fallguy, Good perspective. We should keep an eye open for an opinion from the AG too.

4. It is unlawful to carry a weapon into a meeting where the owner has posted prominent signs at all entrances banning weapon possession.

It would be good to note that the "signs" referenced above are the "PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359." Because, the way it's worded is a bit ambiguous and originally caused me some confusion, since point # 8 specifies this particular language (or language that is substantially similar), but point # 4 doesn't.

Also,

Public Chapter 339 – Handguns in Restaurants – This act authorizes any individual with a handgun carry permit to carry a firearm into a restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages as long as such individual is not consuming alcoholic beverages. However, a restaurant may choose to post a sign prohibiting firearms.

Effective Date: July 14, 2009

All info from: Handgun Carry Permit T.C.A. Codes
