I've been all over Franklin, just south of Nashville, since Tuesday and haven't seen a single one.

Good question...I'll add one...

I'll be there on Tuesday, any signs at the Grand Ole' Opry?

I was in Nashville on business this week staying in Franklin by the Cool Springs Mall. I ate at Carrabba's and Las Palmas in Franklin, Outback in Brentwood, and the Olive Garden in Murfreesboro. I did not see any signs.

Funny, my wife and I were walking into our favorite Mexican restaurant here in Collierville tonight and as I opened the door, she stopped and said, "Don't you need to go back and put your gun in the car?" I proudly responded, "No...remember it's legal now".

I then got wasted on Shrimp fajitas and Diet Coke!!!

See here for a report on those that have:

RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE POSTED - Tennessee Gun Owners

and have not thus far:

RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE NOT OR WILL NOT POST - Tennessee Gun Owners

Unfortunately, I have no answer for the Grand Ole' Opry or the Ryman. I never go....

Not to step on this thread, but if any of you guys can help me out with a couple of questions about the area around Franklin, please PM me.

From the TNGunowners site...."I work in Donelson so I went to my favorite "lunch spot" today, DARFONS. It was posted "no guns" so I disarmed, went in and cashed in my "rewards points card". I had over 1,000 points (a dollar per point) I asked to cash it in and they asked why I was not eating there today. I told them that it was due to their posting.They thought that I was kidding...... "

Isn't it funny how they think they are doing what they think most of their customers want. It is also interesting that they are REALLY putting the remaining patrons at a higher risk as the "law abiding" gun owners won't be there to save their butts!!!

I have been in several restaurants in Gatlinburg this weekend and none of those below that I have been in were posted at the time of my visit.

Hard Rock Cafe
Calhouns
Pedler Steak House
Bennett's Bar B Que

Wow, great way to save up for your next pistol and carry rig. Once you have it I would take some pics and go in to thank them being sure they understood the value of the set up and its MONEY that WOULD have been spent in the establishment!
It does not come to a hill of beans as there are so few of us that carry but it will be good for your soul and maybe, just maybe, they will see the bigger picture and change.

Thanks for the post.... WOW ,, Did anyone read the first post?.. OMG. Asking every customer if they had a gun? I use to eat there. Sounds like that place will ALWAYS be posted. I'll have to pay them a visit while in town next time just so they know they lost another customer.

I walked in and talked with one of the servers and she said that the Manager decided to take it down because of all the info she was getting from people like us through calls, emails & letters! I am so HAPPY! I freak'in LOVE Bar-B-Cutie's food and I was heartbroken when they posted so......all of you guys need to please contact this manager and let her know how much you appreciate her taking the sign down. We need to get out there and give her our business to show our support of her supporting us!

The Grand Ole Opey is posted. Although concealed is concealed.

That's gotta' hurt!

IIRC, that posting was by Nikki Goeser, whose story is here:

Witness Testifies In Fatal Bar Shooting - Nashville News Story - WSMV Nashville

Notice that the news story left something out: because of Tennessee law at the time, Nikki, who is a handgun carry permit holder, had to leave her firearm locked in the car (similar to what happened to Dr. Gratia-Hupp in Killeen, Texas, at the Luby's Cafeteria). Johnny's Sports Bar, where Mr. Goeser was killed, has posted no carry, of course....

Do signs carry any weight, or would I just be asked to leave?

It has to be a correct sign. A gun with a line through it doesnt count.


39-17-1359. Prohibition at certain meetings — Posting notice. —


(a) An individual, corporation, business entity or local, state or federal government entity or agent thereof is authorized to prohibit the possession of weapons by any person otherwise authorized by §§ 39-17-1351 — 39-17-1360, at meetings conducted by, or on property owned, operated, or managed or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity or government entity. Notice of the prohibition shall be posted. Posted notices shall be displayed in prominent locations, including all entrances primarily used by persons entering the building, portion of the building or buildings where weapon possession is prohibited. If the possession of weapons is also prohibited on the premises of the property as well as within the confines of a building located on the property, the notice shall be posted at all entrances to the premises that are primarily used by persons entering the property. The notice shall be in English but a notice may also be posted in any language used by patrons, customers or persons who frequent the place where weapon possession is prohibited. In addition to the sign, notice may also include the international circle and slash symbolizing the prohibition of the item within the circle. The sign shall be of a size that is plainly visible to the average person entering the building, premises or property and shall contain language substantially similar to the following:
PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359, THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS PROPERTY HAS BANNED WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY, OR WITHIN THIS BUILDING OR THIS PORTION OF THIS BUILDING. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROHIBITION IS PUNISHABLE AS A CRIMINAL ACT UNDER STATE LAW AND MAY SUBJECT THE VIOLATOR TO A FINE OF NOT MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500).

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter, reduce or eliminate any civil or criminal liability that a property owner or manager may have for injuries arising on their property.

(c) Any posted notice being used by a local, state or federal governmental entity on July 1, 2000, that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section may continue to be used by the governmental entity.

(d) The provisions of this section shall not apply to title 70 regarding wildlife laws, rules and regulations.


[Acts 1996, ch. 905, § 11; 2000, ch. 929, § 1.]

highoctane is correct.

However...one must be especially careful just now. Firearms laws are under a microscope right now because the "Naifeh logjam" was cleared out this session. Tennessee's Attorney General has issued these on signage:

http://tennessee.gov/attorneygeneral...07/OP/OP43.pdf

http://tennessee.gov/attorneygeneral...7/OP/OP148.pdf

http://tennessee.gov/attorneygeneral...0/OP/OP161.pdf

To my knowledge, no court has ruled on what "substantially similar" means, for example. At this time, I would recommend that no one carry past any sign in Tennessee where the property owner's clear intent is to prohibit carry, "substantially similar" or not. Some prosecutor or judge may be looking to make his or her mark. OMO, YMMV.
