NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A poll conducted for the Tennessee Newspaper Network shows that most voters oppose a new state law that allows handguns into bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Seven in 10 voters polled said that the prospect of mixing guns with alcohol is too dangerous, according to a poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Research & Polling Inc. for the Tennessee Newspaper Network and WBIR in Knoxville, Channel 10.
The poll also found that 72% of voters in the state say they would support enacting a law that would require people stopped by police to prove they are in the country legally.
A federal judge blocked part of Arizona's immigration law that was scheduled to take effect Thursday, including a provision that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.
