'Allow Guns in Bars' Tennessee Rep. Arrested Driving Drunk With Gun

Tennessee GOP state representative person with comical pirate name Curry Todd sponsored one of these "what could possibly go wrong?" gun rights laws so popular with the wingnuts these days that allows handgun owners to march around inside their favorite local liquor establishments while carrying weapons. What a good law that is! And what does a Tennessee lawmaker do with a good law? He puts it to use: Todd was arrested for driving around wasted with a loaded handgun in the console of his truck last night in Nashville.

From AP:  

Rep. Curry Todd, a lead sponsor of a law allowing handgun carry permit holders to bring their guns into bars, has been arrested on charges of drunken driving and possession of a gun while under the influence.

Police say in court documents that the Collierville Republican was pulled over in Nashville late Tuesday. He allegedly failed a roadside sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer. A loaded Smith & Wesson 38 Special was found in a holster stuffed between the driver seat and the center console.

And oh look! We just found his mugshot:

Some of you might argue that this is karma, but we would argue that this was the only possible logical outcome. [ AP ]
