TN House Bill 0363

[300winmag]

Our politicians sure like to give good folks who carry legal traps that can cost good folks a chunk of money.  It's true that not many people have been criminally charged under the 'no guns' signs.  It was also true that not many permit holders were charged with carrying in a place that sold alcohol when that was illegal.  I'd guess few have been criminally charged for carrying on school property when there are probably some that do illegally carry at schools and colleges.  The fact is that you are at the mercy of the responding officer if your gun is exposed in one of these legal trap locations and someone calls the police.  I'm sure there are some police that would tell you to put the gun in the car, but there are a few that would cite/arrest you and that is when you will be spending a good chunk of money on legal and court fees getting the problem fixed.  

I personally do not like the idea of having to get a permit to exercise a right, but I think it is an absolute insult to good people for the state to make them buy a permit to carry and then still have to worry about weapons charges if they carry the gun in certain locations outside their vehicles.  If the state believes people who have these permits are so unsafe, then why did the state give the permits out in the first place?
