Update II
Today, as expected, Governor Bredesen vetoed HB 3025 - restaurant carry - on the last day he could legally do so.
Though specifics are scarce, it is presumed a staff member or aide delivered the vetoed document to the legislature today.
Lieutenant Governor, and (therefore) Speaker of the Senate (and Gubernatorial candidate) Ron Ramsey stated today that the veto will be over-ridden and become law next week.
Judging from the language used by the Governor in his veto it becomes apparent that Gov. Bredesen, like Attorney General Eric Holder did with AZ's immigration law, failed to actually READ the legislation before offering his opinion. Bredesen said in his veto:
"I believe a basic and effective rule of gun safety is one I was first taught at [an NRA] - sponsored gun safety class almost fifty years ago: 'Guns and Alcohol do not mix.'"
Mr. Governor, HB 3025 makes no provision whatsoever for the mixing of guns and alcohol. In fact, it provides for more punishments for the mixing of guns and alcohol.
Oh well, he's gone after this year.
