TN Bill to remove restrictions on knife possession and carry

[willis68]

If the Governor signs this, Autos for me from now on!

While I like flippers, I will be getting several Pro tech knives and use and carry them from now on! Edited March 24, 2014 by willis68

[Oh Shoot]

I want to ask that all contact your reps one more time and thank them for their support.


Who else is excited?

 
I'm quite excited, really. Where can we see the recorded vote?  I've apparently been redistricted here since last election, have a different Dem rep and senator that I never even got to vote for or against, need to check up on them.
 

.....

Section 2: Removes this line from Prohibited Weapons list. "(8) Any other implement for infliction of serious bodily injury or death that has no common lawful purpose."

 

Wow, didn't know that was part of it. Very very good, as figured LE might use that first time they find a sword cane or something.

I wanna see Kong strap on the Rhino slayer. You need something that will cut a 1911 in half :)

[Moped]

This is excellent news!!!

[Capbyrd]

So when will this go into effect?

 

 

If you read the bill, the last part says that it will go into effect July 1st.   The bill isn't that long or hard to understand.

Thanks.

 

Yep, both my previous rep, Armstrong, and current one, Gloria Johnson, voted against it.

 

Armstrong has voted against every self defense thing since he's been in there, would take away all guns in a heartbeat if he could. My new commie looks to be of same ilk.

Guys thanks for contacting your legislators on this. We could not have done it without you! Now please call the GOVERNOR!

 

It's not done yet!  Call or EMAIL the Governor TODAY and ask him to sign SB1771.

 

If you live, work or travel in Tennessee, please CALL or EMAIL Governor Bill Haslam and ask him to sign SB1771.

Phone: 615-741-2001 / Email: bill.haslam@state.tn.us

Whether writing or calling, all that is necessary is to simply ask the Governor to sign SB1771. That's it, keep it short and to the point.

Thank you for the hard work Good Sir. :hat:

The remaining steps.  


 

BILL IS ENROLLED

After being passed by both houses, the bill is enrolled, that is retyped, without errors or erasures, on a heavy-weight paper, by the Chief Engrossing Clerk in the house of origin. This step involves preparing the bill in the exact form passed by both houses and in a format suitable for approval by the two Speakers and by the Governor.

 

 

SIGNED BY SPEAKERS

After the Speakers sign the enrolled copy, it is automatically transmitted to the Governor for his action.

 

 

SIGNED BY GOVERNOR

The Governor may sign the bill; veto it; or allow it to become law without his signature. The Governor is allowed ten days (Sundays excepted) after a bill is presented to him to approve or veto the bill; if he takes no action within that period, the bill becomes a law without his signature. The Governor also has constitutional authority to reduce or disapprove any sum of money appropriated in any bill while approving other portions of such bill. If the Legislature is still in session, the Governor returns all bills and joint resolutions to the house of origin after he has taken action. After adjournment of the General Assembly, bills are returned by the Governor to the Office of the Secretary of State. If the Governor has vetoed a bill or reduced or disapproved an appropriation within a bill, the veto can be overridden, or reduced or disapproved sums of money restored, by a majority vote of the membership to which each body is entitled under the Constitution.

 

 

SENT TO SECRETARY OF STATE AND ASSIGNED PUBLIC CHAPTER NUMBER

The Secretary of State's office assigns each general bill passed into law a public chapter number, while local bills are assigned private chapter numbers. The public chapters are published in pamphlet form soon thereafter for distribution to members of the General Assembly and other interested parties. Several months after the session, the public chapters, resolutions and joint resolutions adopted are published in bound volumes as the Tennessee Public Acts. The private chapters are similarly published in bound volumes as the Tennessee Private Acts.

 

 

INCORPORATED INTO THE CODE

In the meantime, the Tennessee Code Commission and the publishers of the Tennessee Code Annotated are busily converting and annotating new laws into the existing Code. The supplements and replacement volumes of the Code are usually available about six months after the adjournment of the General Assembly. (It should be remembered that private acts apply only to one city or county and do not become a part of the Code.)

You can watch the vote here.  Wait about two or three minutes.  Representative Jones mentions the Zombie Apocalypse.

Does anyone know how to edit and save that video?  I'd love to have a short clip of Rep. Jones' performance.  That sort of idiocy deserves a national audience.  :squint:

Working on it, BUT if we have any video geeks here, please contact me.

I've been trying all morning.  If I could get the file from the server, I could edit it down.  But none of my tech geeks have been able.  The alternative is to use a screen cap software but I don't have one that doesn't watermark the video. 

[Capbyrd]

Working on it, BUT if we have any video geeks here, please contact me.

 

 

Do you have the video file?  If so, I can edit it.  

[Troutburger]

Sometimes its scary when our elected officials speak off the script....

[Guest DCritter]

Do you have the video file?  If so, I can edit it.  

 

No and I suspect no way to get it, but we have an email in asking.

[sigmtnman]

The call to Haslam's office took no more than 15 seconds including dialing.

[Capbyrd]

No and I suspect no way to get it, but we have an email in asking.

 

 

I think I found a way.  Give me about 30 minutes or so to finish this install and then edit.

OK, please contact me directly for some suggestions on editing, if you don't mind: dritter@kniferights.org or 602-476-2702

canned response from Haslam's staff I suppose everybody gets:

---------------------

 

March 25, 2014

 

 

Dear Mac:

 

Thank you for writing to me and sharing your thoughts and concerns.  Listening to and learning from Tennesseans is very important to me, and I appreciate hearing from you.  After careful review of your letter, I have forwarded it to my legislative staff for consideration.  Your suggestions will be helpful as we develop our legislative and policy agenda.

 

Again, thank you for taking the time to write.  I look forward to working with you and all Tennesseans to make our great state an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.  

 

Warmest regards,

Bill Haslam
