Hahahah !
B.- Where we were it was OK to carry. They serve alcohol but they serve food as well. It's legal in that case as long as you aren't drinking. Ahem.....I was drinking and had a .380 on board. lol
I always carry. Rather be judged by 12 as carried by 6.
I rotate between a Ruger LCP .380, an unltralight 38 and when I'm rarely in dress clothes a small .22.
Had a great time. Felt like I had known you all my life. I suspect that has a lot to do with being Southern boys and having a lot of common interests.
The restaurant is a bastion for burgers in K-town. Next time we can try something different like maybe a microbrewery or Calhouns [ribs and bbq] on the river. I understand fully about Neyland. It is cold and foreboding in appearance. It always amused me that they called Thompson Boling arena Rocky Top when it's down there by the river too. Knoxville has a ton of good fairly cheap restaraunts. You should enjoy being there in the future.
My partner for the for the rest of you guys info was a 70 year old dude I drink coffee with all the time. He has a lot in common with me as well. He's been around the block and likes to talk about pussy and carousing. The porn forum being on the webz is a bit beyond him but not the content for sure. He has minimal internet savvy but gets on some. He recently lost his mom and I give him a chance to get out of town when he can. He and his ex wife are living together and taking care of therir grandson. The grandson's mom his ex-wife's daughter recently died of cancer. He's had a rough time of it lately. The little boy is only 5 so you can imagine all the questions and bafflement.
In any case I really enjoyed meeting B. I hope to see him again soon. By the way, I imagined him a little older but he looks young for his years.
