A hearing has been delayed on a lawsuit to stop a law that allows handguns to be carried in Tennessee bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
The hearing was scheduled for Tuesday. But plaintiffs' attorney David Smith said it was delayed until July 13 to give the state attorney general's office more time to review the case.
The lawsuit seeks a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent the law from taking effect on July 14.
One reason the lawsuit gives for stopping the law is that it's an "unlawful public nuisance that unreasonably threatens the life, health and 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.
