It is a win for us, guys! Just take it.

He is accustomed to it.

It is my understanding that this bill would simply remove the criminal penalty for carrying without a permit. I cannot confirm this however.

How much damage did Smith County get? I see their schools are closed for the remainder of the week, but can’t find one thing about it on the news.

How many more people will be carrying because of this law? Irresponsible people don't really care about laws. You'd be amazed how many people carry regardless of laws. Before the advent of the carry permit, most of the men I knew had a pistol in their pocket.

Putnam county would be a much more suitable place for a photo op on Friday afternoon.

Glad to hear you're o.k., Doug.

You'd be incorrect. Government does not have the power to grant rights. You are born with rights. Government can only infringe upon them.

I have a kid in Cookeville. He said the tornado went a bit south of his house.

Methinks there’s more to this story.

The only way you can get rid of that is to become a hermit.

I joined the TFA last week, and would challenge all of you to do the same. I am also an NRA life member. I expect the NRA will try and claim credit for this, but it seems more local to me.

As it is now labeled as the department of homeland security, I would assume it is a "federal" building?

Say it ain't so, Mike! You leaving us??!!?

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Kentucky. They have constitutional carry. Somehow I’ve so far managed to avoid the constant hail of gunfire this lack of control supposedly brings.

And that, in a nutshell, is why we frown on yankees moving down here.

I've been looking for a tax write off.

I suppose my invitation got lost in the mail?

Do you realize people routinely carry without a permit now?

Many criminals are walking around with guns today. No law is going to change that. No permit is going to prevent that. Law abiding citizens having a legal option to defend themselves will help negate criminal intentions. It seems as if many people believe that for some odd reason, criminals tend to obey gun laws. I don't get it.

I understand this bill will be sponsored by the senate majority leader and the house majority leader. In political parlance, this means it is a done deal.

How convenient.

Permitless carry in Tennessee! This is why we elect conservatives.

Also, don’t overlook the 336. Every rifleman should have a 30-30 lever rifle. If you can find a nice old waffle top Marlin, a prize you’ll have. Further, a 39a makes a great rimfire companion.

You wouldn’t even believe me I’d I told you how accurate mine is with factory Magtech ammo. To the OP....my answer to your question is “both”.
