The Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto of the guns in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol bill today. It will now take effect on July 14th, even though the bill says its legal starting on June 1. If a bill isn’t law by the time of the enacting date, then there is a 40 day waiting period from the time it becomes law to the time it takes effect.
However, Metro Councilmen are already taking the steps necessary to prevent guns in places that sell beer. While the state controls wine and liquor, counties control beer sales. Therefore, they believe they can ban weapons in places that serve beer. Councilman Charlie Tygard faxed me a copy of the proposed ordinance, which he plans on filing tomorrow. Here’s a link to the ordinance: http://carakumari.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=473
