John Perry wrote to me and he said hey David I await your comments on the
Georgia House passing a sweeping bill
late Thursday night that allows firearms in bars nightclubs school classrooms and
certain government buildings
that lack security personnel or devices guns in bars what is Luis have to say
about guns in bars seriously
if they think that more guns are the solution to gun violence
they should probably get a brain stand on his right there is a bill moving
through the house
and this happened at the very end of the legislative day on Thursday
and a the if signed if signed it would allow guns
in the places that Don described including bars nightclubs
et cetera and religious leaders could opt in
if they want if they decide I would like guns in my church for example
they would be allowed to adopt in to allow guns at their place
%uh worship where violators can not
be arrested or fined more than one hundred dollars
each of course those who are trying to Prevent Gun Violence say that this is
absolutely ridiculous
we had somebody from Brian Malte from the
a Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said we know more guns is not a solution
to gun violence
and along the other provisions it also changes Georgia self-defence measures by
removing the penalty
for possessing a firearm in an authorized location
if it passes the legislation will provide security to individuals carrying
guns
in unauthorized locations and
even if they're under the influence of drugs or alcohol
okay Louis you've worked in different bars in different states
in different parts of the country first is it a good idea
to put guns were people are drinking in you
serve people ranging all varieties of drunkenness and personality is that a
good idea
terrible idea absolutely terrible idea
but I'm glad that this is happening because
it needs to happen so that we can point to and say that it was a terrible idea
and and I think that's exactly what's going to happen I think gun violence is
gonna go
I off-the-wall in in georgia because I bet rebel that certain interesting think
Georgia should be really safe soon right if this passes which we don't we don't
know that it will work through the house but it still needs to
to be made into law if it passes it Georgia just be incredibly safe because
there will be guns allowed everywhere and certainly there would be data to
back that up
or maybe there won't be so I think you're right lou is we just need to wait
and see the data here
I'm can you imagine situations where
you situations you presided over in a bar
where had there been guns people would probably have ended up shot
oh yeah definitely on I think it's it's very easy
to pull out a gun when you are intoxicated I am
a just you you lose your inhibitions David and I i think just about anyone
would be capable of it given the right situation and the right amount of
alcohol
