The Strategic Plan for MTAS: http://www.mtas.tennessee.edu/strategic_plan_june09.pdf Notice nowhere is vetting our City and County Laws against the Tennessee Constitution. Self serving leftist who have a choke hold on our taxes with no venue for the People to hold them accountable.

Not to be nit-picky, but MTAS is the Municipal Technical Advisory Service. MTAS Home CTAS is as OH shoot reported the County Technical Advisory Service. County Technical Assistance Service I portend that they hold more sway over our day to day lives than any other entity in the State, and as they are tax payer funded, their intrusions into issues that they are not directly responsible for (Legislatively) they are constantly guilty of Official Oppression. The day after the Legislature passed the Parks Bill, they sent a write up to every City and County government instructing them how to "Opt Out" of the provision. They are the "hired guns" of the Liberal establishment in Tennessee, and are the lightning rod for all Agenda 21 issues in the State.

MTAS and CTAS are functionaries of UT, Think Tanks if you will, on our payroll, and across the board are two of the most anti-gun establishments in the State. They are the chief lending institutions to the municipalities in the State, both County and City, far more powerful than anyone imagines, lawyers on the public dole, working to keep a liberal anti-gun agenda going in every venue they can hold sway over, and they have a lot of power. They will never allow carry on campus, it will have to come from the Legislature if it is going to happen. Of course, that is how the Constitution is set up, but our Governor wants his buds at UT to be the deciding voice on the issue, instead of following the law.

No, that would be the stake in the heart of his re-election, and Reid can not do without him.

Have a brother who was born with just his left hand, birth defect that left just the bones of the wrist with no hand at all. The "Nub" as he, and we, (his siblings) called it, was a wicked weapon in and of itself. The cartilage that would have separated the hand from the wrist formed a cap over the fused bones, making it the most effective sternum poker imaginable, but I digress. Tore a rotator cuff badly whilst living in Texas in my early 20's, he was out in Ft. Worth working for me at the time. Trying to learn at that advanced age to perform the most normal functions one handed, such as tying shoes etc. was one thing. Doing necessary sanitary functions with the off hand required some training as well. He semi smirked at my first lament of having my right arm tied up for six weeks, I got no sympathy from him at all, but did have a very apt teacher on how to survive the world one handed. I learned then how to work my weapons one handed, and have practiced off hand shooting ever since. It was the only silver lining in that cloud.

I second that recommendation, if you want to spice it up, just sprinkle on some cayenne pepper. The LEM seasoning does well, I have sent over 400 lbs to my nephews in the sand box over the last few years, it keeps well when vacuum packed.

If you read the Bill, it states that it takes it's power from the commerce clause, not the 2nd Amendment. I do not like the slightest hint that the commerce clause has anything to do with firearms Rights.

I was coming back on the early morning flight out of Green Bay via Detroit. I got into Memphis, drove back to Jackson in time to walk into the office and see the second plane hit the tower. A fellow PM and I seeing what had happened, knew the buildings were going to come down. I work at the same firm Old Goat does, I remember everyone sitting in the main conference room in shock.

From the article: "Late last Friday, CBS News and the Los Angeles Times almost buried the news that (Dan) Restrepo, the National Security Council's top man for Latin America, and two other officials, were in on ATF memos from the Gunwalker operation called "Fast and Furious." That blows apart White House claims that it had no idea the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was encouraging frontmen for Mexico's cartels to buy weapons from U.S. gun dealers — to "trace" them afterward." A White House 'Gunrunner'? - Investors.com Something rotten in Washington.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. Traver involved in selling guns to felons, surly not. Why I bet he is just trying to give them back some dignity.

I am pretty sure that is not a correct statement about the ammunition "readily accessible". Not able to carry it loaded is correct, and no loaded magazine or clip close to any person and the weapon yes, (IF no one has a HCP), but according to 39-17-1307 (e) (2): Legislature passed this change basically to allow hunters to carry their long guns and ammo in their vehicles.

He has really been doing a wonderful job if that... Seattle Green Jobs Program Gets $20M, Creates 14 Posts | FoxNews.com How about the "Dream Act" push by Executive Order last week? Like these guys care one whit about the Constitution, see the Gibson Guitar raid. Or the Health Care Reform Act, Obama and his crew knew that was headed to the Supreme Court, yet like Red Skelton's little boy, they "Dood it anyway." My concern is that his liberal base is clamoring for something akin to what he promised them for their money and support, and guns would be the first thing he would throw under the bus. He knows the Conservatives are against him, he just has to hope the libs and the "Independents" can eek out a win this time. The libs are furious that we are not wearing Red Stars, so he has to do something to appease them.

Better read the whole Public Chapter:

Been a Life Member of the NRA since high school, found the TFA when I moved back to TN from TX, become an active Life Member of it as well. NRA needs our attention to get it back on track, but you can only affect it from the inside. TFA because the NRA really does not drill down to a State level, and there is much work to do right here, as the majority of things that really affect our ability to carry are decided in the TN Legislature.

I thought in TN, if you are not convicted of a crime in a self defense shooting, then the civil suit was a non starter?

Not the wishes of the spokesman for the Nashville Police, Don Aaron, from the article: According to Mike Dunavant, district attorney from Tipton County: If in fact that is a weapon that was stolen from a Citizen, and the rightful owner is realized, does that property deserve to be kept from him or her? Further Mr. Dunavant says: Isn't every gun subject to the same vicissitudes of possibility, is a gun that has been once used in a violent crime more likely to "fall into the wrong hands" than a brand new one purchased to replace one that has been stolen? Emotional knee jerk reaction in my opinion.

From the article: Part of the emotional response of Ms Kerr was quoting this statement from the Director of Chiefs of Police. I for one see this kind of attitude as dangerous. I fully support LE in their prescribed responsibility of ENFORCING laws, and have a high respect for them, but they do not need to be in the business of deciding what they do with regard to laws. That is what the elected representatives of our State are charged with deciding.

Was not talking about the Police Department selling a weapon, was replying to Motasyco's idea of destroying a weapon used in a murder. You jumped in and added your take on a separate issue, that of selling weapons used in crime, I was responding to Motasyco's suggestion of destroying weapons that have been used in a murder. His take is clear in two different post on the issue.
