For the last two hours, the news anchors have been &#8220;reporting&#8221; on the move in some states to allow firearms in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. They are shocked (shocked!)&nbsp;that anyone would consider this. From their report, you are left thinking that liquored-up, testoterone laden guys will be shooting it out in bars like in the old Wild West movie.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, most of the time they have failed to give the listeners the whole story. That is, while you may be allowed in the bar or restaurant with a handgun, you still are forbidden from drinking in most of these states.<\/p>\n<p>They are asking for listeners to call in and give their thoughts on this.
