[Guest JCE]

Say, is this the same Rep Briley that sabotaged our effort for park carry?

What a jerk

Was he not one of the opponets of CCP

[waynesan]

Yes he was.

[Guest Len]

Big time yes on that.

I've met him a time or two. Nice guy, very likable, intelligent, thoughtful, almost "wonkish". But totally wrong on this issue, IMO. Maybe its his constituency, because daddy (Beverly Briley, first metro mayor --you may have been stuck in traffic on his namesake parkway once or twice) was not an anti-gunner, and such things often run in families.

I believe he also opposed carrying in restraurants which serve alcohol; apparently doesn't have a problem driving under the influence though.

[towerclimber37]

Heh, he just exchanged one highly portable weapon for a less concealable one.

figures.

If this ends his career, I will be happy. Bye bye Robby!

[bteague2]

what a load of BS. I hope he makes plenty of new friends in jail named Bubba and they make him feel loved.

I don't have time to find it this morning, but Briley had been order in for psychiatric observation a couple of weeks before this. The guy has problems. They should be private problems, not public ones. Time for him to retire.

It’s interesting that they only charged him with the misdemeanors; they didn’t charge him with the Felony Fleeing that would have ended his career.

Briley pleads guilty; will serve 10 daysBy John Rodgers, jrodgers@nashvillecitypaper.com State Rep. Rob Briley pleaded guilty to DUI today but had his felony evading arrest charge suspended for up to two years.

Briley (D-Nashville) will serve 10 days in jail for the DUI as his sentence was suspended down.

Briley will serve the 10 days on the weekends in Wilson Co. jail. He also had to pay a $350 fine plus court costs and is on misdemeanor probation.

In case you haven't seen it, here is the video of his arrest (thanks to Someguy) http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=5534

He got off awfully light on this. I can't imagine I would get anything close to this light a sentence if it was me.

[molonlabetn]

It was harsh compared to several illegals I've seen receive.
