We passed a State version in 2014. It is like the trigger laws, if the feds ever change Tennessee removed the infringement statewide. TFA can only play in the State sandbox, but GOA is big time involved on the Federal Side.

We are co litigants and John Harris is Council, I am a named plaintiff.

Law suit filed today! We are not playing. I am a named plaintiff so the game is on.

First guy did not meet criteria. He did not understand the issue. Need a person who carries without a state issued permit, Owns an AR or semi-auto rifle as well. (per their understanding even a 10-22 suffices, AR or AK is better). Person needs to be able to say they carry without the permit. Time is of the essence.

It was not just a resolution. The City intends to try to enforce it, I intend to stop that.

Found one.

Does anybody in Memphis have access to a person who would be willing to put their name on the line to be a named plaintiff in a suit against Memphis over the recent ballot measure? I need that person to NOT have a permit to be most effective. I will be signed on as my statue as West TN Director of the TFA gives me standing under 39-17-1314, but I need a plaintiff so that the courts can not dismiss due to lack of harm. Contact 731-217-0134.

Nope that is the clean up after the call out.

If you want to feel betrayed, consider the Democrats made it a crime to carry a handgun in 1801 ,then any forearm in 1870 and the Republicans have had a majority for 8 years under Haslam, then a super majority for 6 more years and have not corrected that lack yet. They have been told time and again their actions are unconstitutional but they do not care, they love power and they love to control. If you don't believe that just look at how they killed the Constitutional Amendment to let the People vote on removing the Jim Crow law from 1870.

I have a feeling it will pass with flying colors.

That call has been made, we are waiting on a reply. Actually, I hope they let it go forward as we will sue and win, as will FPC, GOA, 2nd Amendment Foundation, NAGR and maybe even the slothful NRA as it might make them some money.

They are doing a bang-up job on (b) (2)...
