https://wreg.com/news/shelby-county-da-says-governors-permitless-gun-plan-a-bad-idea-for-memphis/ MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Gov. Bill Lee announced his support Thursday for legislation that would remove handgun permit requirements in Tennessee, but the plan is drawing criticism from some local officials. Lee, and the NRA, both say the so-called constitutional carry law would secure Second-Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens. Sixteen states currently have similar laws in place. The bill also would increase penalties for stealing guns. But Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said the proposal is likely to cause problems for local law enforcement. “As District Attorney of a large urban area, I am opposed to it,” Weirich said. “I cannot think of any good reason why we would want to allow permitless open carry.” Obtaining a handgun carry permit in Tennessee is an easy process, Weirich said, made easier by recent legislation that allows residents to obtain concealed-carry permits after a 90-minute online course. But certain people like convicted felons can’t get a permit. Without permits, officers won’t be able to differentiate between someone who can legally carry a gun and someone who can’t, Weirich said. Weirich compared the proposal to another recent Tennessee law that allows residents to carry guns in cars, which law enforcement officials in Memphis say has led to an increase in auto burglaries and more guns in the hands of criminals. Memphis’ police director has called for its repeal. “We’ve seen, here in Shelby County, great issues for law enforcement and public safety because of guns in cars,” Weirich said. “This is just going to add to that problem and make it almost impossible for law enforcement to know if somebody with a weapon is a convicted felon and prohibited person.” Similar bills were blocked in Tennessee in the past, but because Republicans control both chambers of Tennessee’s General Assembly, Lee’s support of the measure makes its passage more likely. State Sen. Raumesh Akbari, a Democrat who represents Memphis, said she will oppose any permitless carry legislation. Akbari said after Missouri passed a permitless carry bill in January 2017, the city of St. Louis experienced a nearly 25 percent increase in the rate of aggravated assaults with a gun in 2017 compared to 2016, according to research by gun control group Everytown For Gun Safety. “Tennesseans support the 2nd Amendment, but they also believe firmly in responsible gun ownership and policies, like mandatory background checks, that promote accountability,” Akbari said in a statement. “Permitless carry is a bad idea that endangers every Tennessean.”

Here is the latest update on the Glock Store coming to Nashville.

Here is a link to a much better video of the one above from liveleak. The video above is from Youtube and they cut out the sound of the gun going off and his mother yelling at him. https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=unzdd_1581220111

https://wreg.com/2020/01/30/memphis-lawmaker-proposes-red-flag-legislation/ NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Memphis senator has introduced a “red flag” bill for gun owners or those looking to purchase a gun. The bill – sponsored by Senator Sara Kyle and Rep. Glorida Johnson (Knoxville) – would allow a judge to issue an emergency order of protection that would prevent a person from owning or buying a firearm if they pose “an imminent risk of harm” to themselves or others. The emergency order would only be temporary. Thirty days after the initial order is issued, a hearing will be held to determine if the judge should extend the order or dissolve it. If there is still a threat, the order can be extended for no more than a year. Seventeen other states and the District of Columbia all have similiar legislation, WKRN reported.

In his last video update on Youtube he stated that he is looking for a grand opening between June and August this summer.

This is what the engine looked like.

For a six cylinder this car was surprisingly fast. I would race 326 GTO's and was able to keep up with them or beat them. Nobody believed it was a six cylinder until they looked under the hood. I really miss that car but my second car was a 68 Charger RT. I wish I had both of those cars today. The picture below is very similar to the Charger I owned.

My first car was a 1967 Pontiac LeMans Sprint OHC 6 cyl. 4 bbl. It cost me $825.00. Purchased it in my Junior year of High School in 1971. The picture is pretty much what it looked like with the Cragar wheels.

https://wreg.com/2020/01/21/mississippi-lawmaker-petitions-for-desoto-county-to-become-second-amendment-sanctuary/ DESOTO COUNTY, Miss. — DeSoto County is now a Second Amendment "safe haven," the first Mississippi county to make such a declaration. Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of a resolution Tuesday, after the language was amended to change "sanctuary" to "safe haven." Mississippi Rep. Dana Criswell, who presented a petition to the Desoto County Board of Supervisors asking for a vote on the resolution, said safe haven essentially means the same as sanctuary. Criswell said several constituents came to him expressing concern after some counties in Virginia approved Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in response to gun control measures in that state that some gun-rights advocates feel are unconstitutional. He said Mississippi's legislature is not considering similar gun-control measures, but that residents wanted to get ahead of the issue. "We just want to draw a line in the sand and say we're never going to enforce something like this," Criswell said. Criswell also said that we may soon see a similar effort in Alcorn County, and some efforts are underway in cities. He said he has put forth legislation that would apply statewide.

Read this very carefully.

I couldn't have said it any better!!!

https://wreg.com/2019/12/30/tennessee-gun-law-to-change-in-2020/ NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee will soon begin offering a new concealed carry-only handgun permit that doesn’t require an applicant to demonstrate the ability to fire a weapon. Under the new handgun law, a permit to carry a concealed handgun could be obtained after online training of at least 90 minutes. The current handgun carry permits, to be known as “enhanced handgun carry permits,” would still remain an option. Those permits require eight hours of in-person training with live firing required — a testing procedure that critics say is time-consuming and burdensome. The National Rifle Association’s legislative arm backed the new measure. But the Tennessee Firearm Association opposed it, contending that other states may refuse to acknowledge Tennessee’s existing handgun carry permits or only the new ones. The group also said adding the permit could get in the way of its goal of permitless carry. While the bill was being debated during the 2019 legislative session, Democratic lawmakers criticized the bill for its lax rules and testing requirements. At one point, Senate Minority Leader Jeff Yarbro, a Democrat from Nashville, said he was able to skip an online training course’s videos and finish while the legislative committee he was in advanced the bill. The Tennessee chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a nationwide organization working to curb gun violence, also opposed the bill. In late November, the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security began accepting applications from vendors seeking to offer online concealed-carry class. Applications must include proof of handgun instructor certification. The new concealed-carry only permit application would be $65, instead of the enhanced handgun carry permit’s $100 fee. However, that $65 fee does not include the cost of the online course. As of Friday, the Department of Safety and Homeland Security had approved just two vendors to offer online courses: Clarksville Guns and Archery Tennessee Carry Permit Online School and Tier One Tactics. Both courses cost just under $40. Only one vendor has been denied approval due to their course being too short, a spokeswoman with the agency confirmed. Concealed-carry only permit holders cannot carry their weapon on any state college or university campus. The new law goes into effect Jan. 1. Most new laws are implemented at the beginning of a fiscal year, which kicks off on July 1, but a handful are also scheduled for later if the state needs more time to prepare for the changes. Other new laws taking effect in Tennessee will: — Require state employee insurance to cover proton therapy, an alternative treatment for certain cancers. Proton therapy is a highly advanced form of radiation treatment, which uses protons rather than X-rays to treat cancer. Officials say the advantage of proton therapy is that it can be better controlled and deliver higher doses of radiation to tumors with fewer side effects. — Require any prescription for an opioid to be issued electronically. This law was approved by the Tennessee Legislature in 2018, but the state allowed more time for providers and pharmacies to comply.

I also stopped going to the RK Shows at the Ag Center for the same reason. Just was not worth it.

https://wreg.com/2019/12/04/shelby-county-considers-banning-gun-shows-at-agricenter/ MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County commissioners are considering a resolution that would ban gun shows on county-owned property, though the county-owned Agricenter has already decided not to host the events. Commissioner Tami Sawyer sponsored the resolution, saying Knoxville and Nashville have done this already in light of the proliferation of gun violence. The county proposal could have an impact on the annual gun show held at the Agricenter. That gun show is scheduled for Dec. 14 and 15. Agricenter officials say they usually host up to seven gun events at the Shelby Farms facility. Representatives from the Agricenter were not present at Wednesday’s meeting. A committee vote on the resolution was tabled until January so Agricenter representatives could attend. But when reached later for comment, Agricenter officials said the pressure from county commission is a moot point, because about two months ago they decided gun shows were not in line with their mission of promoting agriculture. They decided not to renew their contract with the gun show vendor in 2020. The resolution points out thousands of crimes in Shelby County are committed with firearms and states that gun shows “are the antithesis of promoting public safety and community peace and harmony.” “Especially in light of the high number of homicides we have in this county as well as the high number of accidental deaths with youth who interact with guns. Just moving us toward a county with more gun safety and gun sense,” Commissioner Tami Sawyer said. Jun Cai, a representative from the Tennessee Firearms Association of Shelby County spoke at the committee meeting, and said his group would oppose the resolution. Few of the weapons used in violent crimes were sold at gun shows, he said. Gun shows also generate money for the county, and buyers are required to undergo background checks, he said.

This was a segment on Tucker Carlson last night that I found to be very interesting.

It has been awhile since I have been in Bass Pro in Memphis at I-40 Ext. 12 not the Pyramid. My wife asked me if I noticed the gun sign when I came in and told her I did not. Has anyone else seen this sign and know how long it has been up or if it is also at the Pyramid location.
