Stephen Colbert on Tennessee gun laws
July 16, 2009
It’s the second time since March that Colbert has taken a close look at handguns in Tennessee. Last time, Colbert addressed the hullabaloo after The Commercial Appeal published the names of folks who have a permit to carry a handgun.
This time he’s taking aim at the proponents of Tennessee’s new law which allows folks to carry a loaded handgun into bars.

I really wish that a member of the media had actually bothered to read the damn law. Why? Because it doesn’t actually allow guns to be brought into bars. Really, the whole thing is a total media lie.

Thanks for your comment Otto. There are still provisions that prohibit guns under certain circumstances, but it does expand the legality of carry guns in places that serve alcohol, right? I wouldn’t exactly categorize it as a “total media lie.”
