LOL....you're right about the AG and DOS. As I'm sure you've seen the AG issued a second opinion about park carry to affirm his first one. So I admit I am taking a chance and would not advise anyone else to do so based on my actions. Of course, again as I'm sure you know, regardless of the AG's opinion an officer would have to charge you first instead of telling you to just leave and then if he did and it went to court a judge or jury would still have to convict you. But that risk is for each to decide on their own. Hopefully the bill will pass and make this moot anyway... I really can't argue with anything you said there. Although I admit, even though I wasn't offended either....it did just sort of come off "not quite right" but even with emoticons typed words can do that real easily...

E-mails sent. However...check the calendar for the sub-committee at http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/bills/currentga/CalendarOrders.asp?vCalendarID=1706&vChamber=HC there are other bills we need to support besides the one's mentioned by the NRA, such as the parks carry bill and others.

Welcome!!! ....and great name.

Sounds like a great time.

Probably most of the time...but not always.... http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9805E1DF1738F93BA35751C0A962958260

Mars you and are starting to agree on a few things....kinds of scares me. :)

I was just through Erin the other day on the bike. Even went and crossed the Houston-Benton Ferry. But anyway...you might check here for some schools. http://www.legallyarmed.com/tnpermitschools.html

I agree on any "questionable" area it is up to that individual whether they want to carry there or not, as long as they have the correct information. If they are simply told they can not carry in any Government Building (or anywhere else) to try and protect them from anything questionable, or some other inaccurate, all encompassing statement, then that is not fair to them. Plus I still don't see how, at even the furtherest stretch of even the most anti-gun person's mind, they could think a library would fall under 39-17-1311 Also remember, the places under 39-17-1311 are actually supposed to be posted. The the legislative body or a committee appointed by them to regulate the property can exempt the property from being posted, but there should be some sort of record of that exemption in the minutes of a meeting by that body, I doubt most have actually done that or could produce it in court. And for the record I have carried in Parks and Civic centers as well as City Hall, the courthouse, the police station and the library.

Welcome!

Welcome David!!

Definitely looks like two of TN's finest GhstFace38

Nice picture

The law if, it changes, specifically prevents the mixing of alcohol and handguns. You can not drink one drop while armed and in a place that serves alcohol for onsite consumption.

....and libraries are not recreational buildings. ....and at least State and Local government buildings MUST be posted (at least in some form) to be off-limits.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome

That's what I do.

It seems to be a common misconception, but there is not a federal or state law against carrying a firearm in a commercial vehicle. Of course the owner of the vehicle can restrict carry. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-291491.html

Welcome to the board Eric!

It would be the greatest thing for him not to be re-elected!

So would electro-shock....

Here is a case where a person was convicted under 39-17-1321 without being given a sobriety test or a BAC test. The conviction was upheld on appeal. State of TN v. Boylan EDIT: ....and granted this is 10 years old, but here is an AG opinion that even says being on your own property or in your own home is not a defense to 39-17-1321. AG Opinion 98-151. Another thing to remember is that in general this AG was more favorable to firearm owners than the current AG.

Here is the response I got from Rep. Todd. I thanked him for his support of TN firearms owners and that I hoped one of the bills is able to pass.

Have to say I think the gut shooting pull with the shotgun was a plant, but who knows.
