Since earlier this year, those with gun carry permits, could carry their weapon into restaurants and bars. Now a ruling handed down in a Nashville courtroom, will strike down that law.
Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman ruled that Tennessee's "Guns-In-Bars" law was unconstitutionally vague.
She said that currently Tennessee has no legal definition for what constitutes a bar, or a restaurant.
The Tennessee Legislature enacted the bill earlier this year, over the veto of Governor Phil Bredesen.
Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey says the bill will be brought back up for a vote, with corrections made to make it less vague, when the legislature reconvenes on January 12th.
