Why is this crap still available?

[Guest Lstevison]

I had the understanding that there was a law revoking this and Reinstating our privacy? No? Am I miss informed?

Tennessee Handgun Carry Permits : Commercial Appeal

This site is still active and working as of today.

To my understanding, they were passing a law to seal the records from the public, but at the last minute either voted it down or it was with drawn I can not recall which. so it never became law.

It failed to pass in the Senate.

It recived a majority of the votes of the Senators present. But it wasn't a majority of the membership of the Senate because some were absent.

Cool. I'm not on the list.

Cool. I'm not on the list.

Give it time. They do update it.

If there is no personal information issue with this database, I wonder why they won't post a Driver License, or Automobile License Tag lists then?

[Guest crotalus01]

Because posting DL and car tag info is illegal. IIRC it was made illegal out of concern for stalkers looking up their victims using tag info...

Well, I escaped last time but now I am on it. I guess we need to push during the next session to get this crap stopped

Yes, exactly my point. I was trying to be sarcastic. Hard to tell on here, sorry. Posting HCP info should be illegal too.

Currently says,

I also thought this issue had gone away as it is an invasion of our privacy.

I also find it appalling that they would list the few that were issued with convictions and such but not bother to use the bandwith to list even the mumber of those who are issued and never commit crimes or even have to use their weapons in defense.

But then again I wouldnt expect much else from Memphis....is this the only searchable database or are there others?

We MUST get this BS law changed. MUST.

They have by law until Oct 1 to put mine in my hand. I called and they said I had cleared everything and every agency but because of a public drunk charge 20 years ago??? I had to be manualy cleared by the one lady that does this (Jenifer) That's cool with me and I do feel for the lady as she said she was in fact the only one who does those maunal clearances.

[Guest SureShot308]

So far I'm not on the list, but I got mine after May 2.

"Armed and dangerous: Dozens with violent histories received handgun carry permits"

Driving While Stupid: Dozens with bad driving histories received drivers licenses

"Felons slip through cracks in system to carry firearms"

Bad drivers slip through the cracks in system to drive motor vehicles

Where are those head lines? It's alright if someone with multiple DUI's gets a DL but they make a stink about someone getting a HCP?

[Guest nj.piney]

i used to be on the list , but my name has been removed . i just renewed .
