A server at Jackson's Bar & Bistro in Hillsboro Village, Tenn., filed a legal complaint with the state arguing that the mixture of guns and bars creates an unsafe work environment.

The complaint, with the name of the complainant redacted, alleges that it is a violation of Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations to allow permit holders to carry guns into places that serve alcohol, such as Jackson's.
