***Gun Free Dining Tennessee***
Gun Free Dining Tennessee (GFDT) is a non-profit organization that encourages restaurants that serve alcohol to not allow guns. This became an issue in 2010 when Tennessee passed a law allowing guns in bars and restaurants, at the behest of the NRA. This is a tactic now being used by the NRA in many states across the country (e.g., North Carolina passed a similar law in 2013). We believe that most people prefer that guns not be allowed to mix with alcohol, and have created a web site documenting which restaurants do and don't allow guns (it is a local choice, under the Tennessee law). We also work to educate restaurant owners and the public, since many do not even realize that guns are allowed.
The intern helps GFDT by calling restaurants in Tennessee to ask them about their gun policy, teach them about the new law, and encourage them to post a no-gun sign. The intern also helps manage our database and web site, and our Facebook page.
To apply for this internship
**Please e-mail Ray Friedman, President of GFDT, at
Ray.Friedman@Vanderbilt.edu.**
