Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons has shown the most opposition among the four major candidates, although he stops short of saying he would have mimicked Gov. Bredesen in vetoing the legislation.
Gibbons spokesman Joe Hall told NashvillePost.com Gibbons is "adamantly opposed" to guns in bars and restaurants and has said so publicly.
"Gibbons says guns and alcohol don't mix. He also believes it was wrong to dismiss bar and restaurant owners – a group that opposes gun carry into establishments," Hall wrote in an e-mail.
Apparently, he's never been out in the country with a case of Busch Lite, a Glock, and an abandoned car used for target practice, or he'd never say "guns and alcohol don't mix."
GOP Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam is also less than thrilled with the measure, though he's not about to step into that hornets nest. On the Dem side, it appears that Ward Cammack, Kim McMillan, and Jim Kyle are opposed to carrying pistolas in cantena's, while Rev. Herron thinks Jesus would have no problem with packin' heat where alcohol is imbibed. Mike McWherter is probably formulating an opinion on the matter with his advisers.
