NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A lawsuit has been filed to stop a law that allows handguns to be carried in Tennessee bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Davidson County Chancery Court by a restaurant owner and nine restaurant workers.
It seeks a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction to stop the law from taking effect on July 14.
Plaintiffs say the law is unconstitutional and an unlawful public nuisance that threatens the safety of the public.
Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen vetoed the measure in May, but the Tennessee General Assembly voted last month to override the veto.
