Tying things together.
Last year, I wrote a bit about an organization called "Guns and Alcohol Don't Mix." This group was adamantly opposed to Tennessee coming into the mainstream and allowing HCP holders to carry in restaurants.
That group never picked up steam, and it fizzled after an activist judge ruled our law unconstitutional.
Well, they are back. Now, they call themselves "Gun Free Dining Tennessee." Of course, the new group alleges it just started up, and has no ties to the old one. But it's all the same - same people, same lawyer, same web host, same looking website.
One bit of good from all this: you can use their website to see which restaurants do not stand for your 2A rights. This can help prevent wasting gas by driving to a restaurant that clearly does not want your business! Even though some of the restaurants that claim to post, don't actually post.
I wondered aloud to a friend why they chose "Gun Free Dining Tennessee" as a name. My friend astutely pointed out that the best name was already taken - "Please Come Rob My Restaurant."
