Guns in bars advocate Tennessee State Representative
Curry Todd was arrested late last night (October 11, 2011) in Nashville for DUI
and possession of a gun while intoxicated. The Tennessean
has details about the arrest, and Tom
Humphrey has insightful political commentary.
Representative Todd has been an effective advocate for a
number of conservative causes and is known for being a Republican leader. The
arrest will certainly challenge Representative Todd's credibility as a
conservative crusader for mixing gun rights with alcohol.
Although national
media has picked up the story, we do not see Rep. Curry's personal issue
affecting current Tennessee gun laws.
