Hey pal, it was NBC spewing the wrong information. Get off your high horse. Geeze, people like to act like Billy bad asses and start spouting off sitting behind a keyboard. Chill dude - okay? I already apologized. I am not a journalist - I do not have the need to vet stories that come from the big outlets. This story does not do anything to make anyone other than NBC look bad - and maybe you for going off the deep end. :squint:

Yeah, unless one subscribes to conspiracy theories - there is not much to it other than poor reporting once again by NBC. Funny that it is just now making it's rounds. I have not seen this up until today.  Sorry guys for posting junk. In my defense, I am not a reporter - just a messenger.

Like I stated, the media has been all over the map on this. I will say this was the first I heard of it - today. Why do we have federal and state authorities confirming 4 handguns used and not the assault weapon then and not now? More information now? Maybe.

First, if this was posted elsewhere - please remove as needed.   Please make sure all of your state and federal legislators see this. New bills are being introduced on the assumption that an assault rifle was used. According to this report on the today show, that is not the case. The media has been all over the board on this and contributes to mis-information.   http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/50208495#50208495

Judge & Jury huh? And they allow you to carry a gun? Idon't get it. Sometimes I wonder if some license holders get scrutinized enoughbefore being issued the license\permit.DO YOU NOT GET IT - THE PERPS THAT FIRED THE ARROW COMMITTED A CRIME! I assumeby a couple of your comments that you would do the same? I would hope that some type of law enforcementmonitors these forums and sees what a risk exist in some of the license holdershere. It simply disgust me that some are allowed to claim a privilege that putsthem in a group that I also participate in. The rock throwing was no longer afactor to the perps firing the arrow. Two separate incidents here (tossingobjects, shooting arrow) – both of which are criminal. Totally sickeningmentality that some present!

I think you are splitting hairs. Regardless of how it is labeled and whether pre-empting is allowed or not , it needs to be changed - and the only way to change it is through your state legislation. It has the same effect as pre-empting.

I read nothing to laugh about here.

TN needs a law that does not allow towns, citie, counties, etc to pre-empt state law. This is the only way to resolve this issue. Georgia fixed this a couple of years back. In GA, one can carry in any park and they cannot pre-empt or opt out of state law. Georgiacarry.org has successfully sued several cities and counties that attempted to "opt out" and prohibit carry. I am on the boarder of GA\TN - but live in GA, so my voice with regards to TN legislation holds no water. You guys need to take your state reps & senators to lunch, call them, etc and express a desire to clarify and change this law to not allow and opt-out clause. No voice=no action.

Crossbreed is by far the most comfortable IWB holster. Not a lot of bling bling. It works and works very well. I have tried many other popular brands - trust me, the supertuck is the bomb for IWB. Crossbreed will even give you a trial period. The MTAC is a close 2nd - but I never change out the bodies on the MTAC - which was the only reason I purchased it.

I have not found too many parks in TN that allow carry. Most have opted out of allowing carry - at least not around here.

Today, Thursday, May 27, the Tennessee State Senate overrode Governor Phil Bredesen’s (D) veto of Senate Bill 3012 by a vote of 22 to 10. This legislation now heads to the State House and could be heard as early as Tuesday, June 1. Sponsored by State Senator Doug Jackson (D-25) and State Representative Curry Todd (R-95), SB 3012 would allow a person who has a valid right-to-carry permit to carry a firearm for self-defense in restaurants where alcohol may be served, as long as the permit holder is not consuming alcohol or is not otherwise prohibited by posting provisions.

We know that it worked a few weeks ago in Coolidge park when a some thugs got together and gun fire rang out. This was one of the most useless TN laws that was passed - allow carry in all parks - but allow any\all to opt out if desired.

It is posted. The local government adopted no carry. Therefore, carry at your own risk - or don't carry at your own risk. No win.
