Chattanooga Mayor Littlefield says No Guns in City Parks

[BrandonTN]

...despite what the state decides.

Mayor Says No Guns In City Parks | city, guns, mayor - Local News - WTVC NewsChannel 9: Chattanooga News, Weather, Radar, Sports, Lottery

There is also a poll on News Channel 9's home page concerning the same issue. The news story had the same arguments as usual "innocent kids may be shot, etc."

Littlefield is just another posturing, political grandstanding, IDIOT. I hope every person inside the Chattanooga city limits contacts their Council representative and let them know they want them to tell ronny boy to go straight to . . . .

Speaking of parks, maybe they should let ron go hang out at the park right off of Rossville blvd without security some late afternoon, or the one over in Orchard Knob.

Actually it's Class A misdemanor...not matter what "his honor" says.

[Guest ScottD]

What a maroon!

"If anyone needs to be armed out there, it only needs to be those that are enforcing the law." Mayor Littlefield said.

It is against the law to rob and or try to kill me. So, by carrying a handgun I am giving myself the option to enforce that law.

I can post a sign, too.

Even going armed without a HCP isn't a felony. Even with multiple convictions.

Matter of fact, the only felony I can think of right off for simply possessing a weapon is the one for doing it on school property.

The sign is wrong....

See the current law here. See the new law under this bill here which leaves the same punishment in place.

Sign also says, up to 6 yrs. in joint and $3000. fine!

[Mike.357]

[pitt2magic]

Sounds like he has posted the wrong signs then....sounds like the sign schools are supposed to post. See 39-17-1309(d)(1) Which does say Felony, $3000 and 6 years.

Sure you're not looking at a school's ball field or other school property?

edit: FG's right on top it it, as per usual!

Well you bring up a point....if it is a park (ballfield etc...) on school property, then it would be the right sign in that case.

But not for a regular city park.
