remind me not to go to a restaurant in Tennessee

You are now allowed to Conceal and Carry in bars and restaurants in Tennessee. The law says that you can carry a gun, if you have a permit, into places that serve alcohol. Now can anyone see a key issue with that law. Anyone? Oh yeah, alcohol and firearms together, not a good idea.
A restaurant owner can post a sign that says "No Guns" and 78% of them say that they will. I just want to know who thought, "Yeah, it's a great to have guns where people drink intoxicating beverages! The 2nd Amendment gives us that right , gosh darn it!" James Madison, the man who is known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights", was a big supporter of people having guns while drinking. He, Washington, Jefferson, and Adams were sitting around one day discussing politics. This is what they said.

Madison: Thank you, George. That was an excellent bottle of wine.

Adams: I agree. George, you have outdone yourself this time.

Jefferson: Yes, but Jimmy we need to talk about this 2nd Amendment you purpose. I think you have left out a lot.

Madison: Like?

Washington: The Right to carry Assault Rifles to Events where the president will be.

Madison: What's an assault rifle?

Washington: No idea. But we have the right to own them.

Adams: Also Jimmy, we have to put it in there that we have the right to Armour-Piercing Bullets. And before you ask, I have no idea what they are.

Jefferson: But most important, we need to put it in there that we have the right to carry guns where they serve alcohol!

All: Yes, of course. Absolutely!

Seriously, this is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Guns should not be allowed anywhere near alchohol.
