NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A group that was seeking a temporary injunction to stop an new Alcohol and Guns bill from taking effect had their request denied in a Nashville court on Monday.

Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman agreed to hear the case filed by 10 Tennessee citizens challenging the legality and the constitutionality of the recently passed legislation. The law allows people to legally bring registered handguns into establishments where alcohol is served.

The suit was filed in Chancery Court with lead plaintiff Nashville restaurateur Randy Rayburn present, along with other supporters.

The lawsuit sought a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent the law from taking effect on Tuesday, July 14.

Although Bonnyman ruled Monday against blocking the law, she said the case should be explored further in 90 days because it has a merit for vagueness.

One reason the lawsuit gives for stopping the law is that it's an "unlawful public nuisance that unreasonably threatens the life, health and safety of the public."

Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen vetoed the measure in May, but the Tennessee General Assembly voted last month to override the veto.

The law retains an existing ban on consuming alcohol while carrying a handgun, and restaurant owners can still opt to ban weapons from their establishments.
