TN HB 0691 Posted Property Provision

[300winmag]

This bill by Rep Goins extends the date from Jan 1 2018 to July 1 2018 for properties to redo 'no guns' signs that can get folks fined for carrying past the sign.

If any of you are represented by Rep Goins, contact him and see if he can add a line in the bill that removes the weapons crime from 39-17-1359.  That would serve a much better purpose than extending a date for compliant no guns signs.  The rep is also sponsoring a bill to de regulate suppressors in TN, so surely he would be open to making it easier for folks to carry.

Means the sponsor wrote a bill to include a specific caption, or segment of the TCA Code, that they want to work on, so they put up a broad enough "Caption" that they can amend later in session to get something done.

All you can do with any bill is purportedly modify the segment of the law you originally included in your bill, but you can modify it in any way by amendment so long as it stays within its "caption".

Been hanging around up there a while, Goins is one of the best, (Former Marine, honest to a fault and a friend of the firearms Rights enthusiast) what you see is what you get, he is leaning to work within the system.

Ah. Much better, thanks.

Hopefully the state rep is able to make this bill turn into something good because it looks like our lite Democrat governor's office is doing everything possible with pretty substantial fiscal notes in order to kill pro gun legislation.  All the other 'no gun' sign reform bills have huge made up financial costs associated with them, including HB 0508 that has probably 25-30 co sponsors.

You should never be surprised at the lengths that Haslam will go to in order to keep his friends in control.
