More States Allowing Guns in Bars and Restaurants

In a time where gun control is an issue that is debated in our country, four states have passed laws allowing guns to be in restaurants and alcohol serving establishment: Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona, and Georgia. The movement was brought up in response to the anti-gun policies being enforced in states such as Illinois and has actually turned up a lack of stance on guns in restaurants in 20 other states. The main issues are the same as in the debate over the right to bear arms; the pro-gun stance stating that it is strictly for protective purposes only, and the anti-gun stance standing by their belief that guns can only cause harm.
