Judge Hatcher's lifting of the restraining order against The Quest Club signifies a pivotal moment for the historic LGBTQ+ venue, marred by violence but cherished since 1982.
Owner Don Sparks condemned gun laws during a heated City Council meeting, stating, 'You can buy a gun and carry it, but you can't buy a pack of cigarettes,' underscoring the discrepancies in regulation.
City Council member J.T. Moore emphasized the risks associated with the club's lack of security, asserting, 'Your establishment is a serious hazard. People take a risk every time they step inside.'
The Quest Club has faced significant scrutiny, with police being called 109 times in the past year—a clear indication of the ongoing violence surrounding this historic venue.
