Chatt. votes 9-0 against guns in Parks, etc.!

I'd extend an invitation for him to walk through a few parks in Nashville at night. I think the results would be very similar to your scenario.

Heck...just in the last 12 months here in Chattanooga there have been no fewer than 5 shootings within 1/4 mile of the city's premier downtown parks (Cooledge/riverpark).

Even worse --Here-- The last one occurred at riverbend right in front of a police officer

....within one block of the downtown precinct.

....the said officers were actually investigating a separate/unrelated shooting that happened 20 minutes earlier.

I don't know what the commission is smoking by thinking that our current setup is a safe haven that needs protecting from evil guns.

As of yesterday, Chatt. will have signs up in all prohibited Parks and other Restricted areas, within 2 weeks!

10 gang members were arrested in a Drive By shooting yesterday, things are really bad in much of Chatt. and really scary in the parks in the Evenings!
