I believe it was Monday night, one of the talking heads on Ch. 4 in Nashville was literally shrieking that the Con Carry bill would "completely abolish the Handgun Carry Permit program in Tennessee".
SMFH
I gave up on WSMV when they started firing the older reporters. Demetria was still there so not many noticed.

I actually got drawn for a sandhill crane tag here in TN. Now I just need to figure out where to go hunt them.
wish I'd know someone with a tag a few years back when one tried to empty my coy pond. moved since so no more pond,

In state con carry has no reciprocity. As an example, Vermont, the original Con Carry state, has no permitting system. Citizens of Vermont have to acquire non-resident permits from other states to allow them to carry outside of Vermont.
So while I absolutely desire a true Constitutional Carry bill to pass, I will keep my permit as I do require the ability to carry outside of TN.
I can understand your stance and support you having that choice. That is why I raised the question although sarcastically. We need this type of discussion to stay ahead of the curve.

Thanks Chuck. I could see problems trying to explain your gun to an officer in another state if you didn't have an actual permit on your person. I believe I'll just keep renewing mine.
I do see Snaveba's point. There are a lot of really stupid people out there. It does worry me some that there will be untrained people out there carrying guns. OTOH, there are a lot of them out there right now. Many. many people carry guns every day without a permit. I've known quite a few myself.
I think this may turn into a self correcting problem. Once a couple of idiots screw up badly and the news media blows it out of proportion, Hopefully other idiots will reconsider there choices or at least study up on the law and go to the range once in a while. Also bear in mind that no sane person, no matter how stupid they are, wants to shoot anybody.
Honestly, I think the one thing that would be the best answer would be to teach firearms training, handling and law to young people in our Public School system. But we all know that'll never happen.
Agreed no NORMAL person wants to shoot anyone but I don't want to go as far as any SANE person and give the idiots an out. Not trying to be funny, we have ambulance chasers that will do it.
I also agree that at the very least we need basic gun safety in schools. I have told my non gun owning friends they should teach or have their children taught this from an early age. you cannot control what the household where your children's friends live so they will encounter a firearm at some point. Better it be from you or a good trainer.
I learned my middle son could climb to the top of my closet. This made me buy a lockable handgun case. Fortunately the only damage was a hole in a piece of furniture and a bump on the forehead. And I can assure you he had been taught, child is rebellious to this day.

Now we get into the heart of keep and bear arms. What would you consider infringement? According to federal case law from the Jim Crow era, you cannot attach a fee or test to any God given Constitutionally guaranteed right. So what is a TICS fee and CCW class and test? Be patient. I believe any person who can legally walk our streets should be able to walk into any store selling firearms and purchase arms, ammo, and holster and walk out strapped. Do we have people that shouldn't walk our streets? Yes of course we do but that is another subject. Remember I said legally walk our streets. Consider the felon who has served his time (not early release/parole/probation) is his life worth less than yours or mine? what about his wife and children who deserve the protection we all hold dear? THIS is my belief on who should be able to keep and arm themselves including in public.
I have had training. My father trained me, my grandfather trained me, my uncles and older cousins trained me, and my Uncle Sam trained me. How long has it been since you completed your CCW training? How many new laws regarding carry and use of force have been enacted since? Are you sure?? How many CCW permit holders retained anything from the class longer than to pass an exam? How many instructors don't care if you learn anything as long as they get paid? I'm not picking on anyone but we all know there are those out there who fit these descriptions. For that matter, how many LEO are not well trained yet we think nothing of their ability to carry.
Now I am not familiar with the lady shooting a store clerk during a shoplifting and no reference is there so my opinion here may be off. With any right comes responsibility. If one owns a firearm it is one's responsibility to learn and understand the rules and laws regarding the use of that firearm just as it is their responsibility to use the correct ammo, loading procedures, safe handling and on and on. No? Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to law. In addition to what I was taught mentioned earlier, I have also continued to study through magazines, news articles, internet vids, and my fellow gunners. I could be behind on this one but I will stand behind and use this rule for unholstering my firearm; if one is justified in drawing their weapon they are justified to pull the trigger. In other words, keep in in leather until you are justified in USING it. This applies partially to LEO who should not POINT at anyone they are not fully justified in shooting. I give law enforcement a pass on having weapons at ready. another point is one of the cardinal rules of firearms, DO NOT POINT/COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO KILL/DESTROY. If the shoplifter was fleeing and unarmed that is the end of the story or should have been. We should all know the rules of who you can and cannot shoot. Add those two previous together and you have a no shoot no draw. The responsibility falls completely on the armed lady who pulled and fired. Not the city, state, or federal government nor you or I.
Y'all be nice now. cut me to shreds in a way that won't stop the discussion. We do not have to agree to be civil.

Just a random devil's advocate thought. If Tennessee passes the "constitutional carry" bill into law and US congress passes national reciprocity will we be able to carry nationwide without a permit??
I'm all atwitter.

I wish you luck. From what my Uncle and Brother in law have said, you should be able to pay two Nashville house payments for Bay Area rent.

If I set up a booth selling air freshener that smells like gun powder, brass, and gun oil does that count as a gun stuff booth?
How many of the 300 will be beef jerky?
if women wore perfume to attract men they would only need three, gasoline, gun oil,,,and vanilla. sorry ladies, not being sexist, just stating fact. In blind tests men preferred vanilla extract over any perfume made. vanilla musk, the wally world stuff, is my kryptonite.

While I agree with making new shooters welcome I see exactly why Fenix stands where they do. Think about this for a minute, not ALL new gun owners or established gun owners are your friend.
Take a lesson from Rosie Odonell,,,you know, the anti gun nut who sued because her child's security guard was denied a CCW in NYC. -

I have never lived in a home that had this emergency heat option. We're still house hunting at the moment and I've been wondering if gas heat is always preferred over electric?
If I had a choice it would be a gas split unit. Seems like gas heat is not as dry.

I understand looking at this as an investment but I'd rather double the money and get a nice vintage Python that has proven to be an earner. But I don't buy firearms or cars for investment, I buy them to use and enjoy. Not knocking those who buy and never shoot. It's your choice and if it makes you happy then by all means enjoy. for my money an 8 round 4 inch Taurus fits the bill better. (my arthritic hand disagrees with the extra two rounds between reloads but hell, I got plenty advil)

We owe it to all those we’ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change. The time to act is now.
At least the last statement makes sense. We have to act to maintain our rights, they are all under attack.
We should not be surprised the Jomalla would campaign on caskets. He has been a two faced liar during the last election, he was a two faced liar in the 1988 election campaign. It's proven he cheated and plagerized his way to the bottom group of college. She has made her way up the ladder on her knees.-

I personally don't think they would attempt to confiscate. That would take house to house door kickers. I don't think they are that delusional to believe we the people will allow it. They will just wait, you'll get a traffic ticket and it will escalate into a felony, even your close friends won't help. It will be a slow crawl until We The People are no longer strong enough to resist. Hope you can all follow this abbreviated version.

Memphis area forecasting anywhere from 5-9" of snow and probably ice/freezing rain before that gets here. All this starts Sunday night and continues until Tuesday. Calling for snow all day Monday. TV weather says be ready for anything.
I don't do well with cold anymore. Back when I was working, the worse the weather got, the more likely I'd have to go out in it. Thank God for retirement!
I'm hunkered down, got plenty of supplies. Generator if the power goes out. Ain't been much of anywhere for about a year now, why should this worry me?
only 2-4" forecast here, but that's enough or the freezing rain would do it. I'm not retired yet but still working from home so I'm good. last freezing rain we had I wound up on my butt on the side of I24 when I stopped to clear ice from the windshield. 3 ft of the shoulder was clear as were the traffic lanes but I just HAD to go to the passenger side. went back home that day.
