Remember this was a guy who was member of Bloomberg's MAIG when mayor of Knoxville, then resigned from that and took out lifetime NRA membership in time to run for Governor.   Takes a while to decid

I just realized, come 1 July, we'll have "Constitutional Carry" here in Tennessee.   For knives anyway.    Maybe we can work on guns next year.   :up:

The Tennessee House Finance, Ways & Means Subcommittee has passed HB1883 on a voice vote. HB1883 now moves to the full House Finance, Ways & Means Committee. We need you to EMAIL or CALL the committee members TODAY! HB1883 is the companion bill to SB1771 and would repeal the antiquated ban on switchblade (automatic) knives and possession of knives over four inches in length "with intent to go armed," a vague law subject to abuse.

If you live, work or travel in Tennessee, please contact the Committee Members listed below and ask them to vote in favor of HB1883. If one of them is your Representative, then emphasize that fact when you call or email. You can find your Representative here: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/legislators/

If you live, work or travel in Tennessee, please contact the Committee Members listed below and ask them to vote in favor of HB1883 (for those wanting just a list of all Committee member email, for a bulk send, it follows this list). If one of them is your Representative, then emphasize that fact when you call or email. You can find your Representative here: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/legislators/

Whether writing or calling, all that is necessary is to simply ask that they vote YES on HB1883. That's it, keep it short and to the point.

This is the 4th or 5th email list I've made to send same message ... so far so good on the bill's progress.

 

Out of all those folks, I've only had one response: Mike Carter (District 29) responded that he agrees with me. Doesn't matter as long as they keep passing it along, though. :)

Looks like the bill is #1 on the calendar for the full FW&M Committee for tomorrow? 

 

 

Yes but it still might not be the first thing they discuss.

We're in the final push! 

 

With your help emailing and calling, HB1883 was passed out of the the House Finance, Ways and Means Committee on a voice vote without objection. The Calendar Committee will now schedule it for a vote in the full House.

 

Please contact your Representative and ask them to vote in favor of SB1771.  You can find your Tennessee state legislators here: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/legislators/

 

Whether writing or calling, all that is necessary is to simply ask your Representative to vote in favor of HB1883. That's it, keep it short and to the point.

 

Thanks to all here for your support.  It makes a huge difference!

Just ordered a voyager xl for the fun of it. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

 

Have one, and plan to carry it if law changes even though it's just short of absurdly big.

I hate to ask stupid questions, or things I should already know, but will this law allow fixed blade belt carry of knives over 4 inches?
