MO Cop to open-carry chicks: "Show me your papers!"

[JayC]

Luke,

 

I think the issue with DaveS was posting incorrect information as fact about TN law, and then when shown the exactly law he continued to argue that state law prohibited something.  I had no idea on his background, and no clue on what the rules are for different types of badges on TGO.

 

IMHO somebody with a law enforcement badge on the forum needs to be careful posting incorrect information on TN firearm laws since many users will tend to take the badge into account when reading their opinions on the law.

 

I don't think anybody wishes to keep DaveS from giving his opinion...  only giving bad facts about TN law...  Lets recap...

 

DaveS stated:

 

1. TN doesn't honor permits from Maine

2. TN law requires that you be 21 to carry a pistol on an out of state permit

3. TN doesn't honor all state permits only states that honor TN permits

 

None of these statements are correct...  TN firearm laws are a confusing mess on their own...  the last thing we need is to have somebody spreading even more misinformation.

 

You're entitled to your own opinions, but you can't be entitled to your own 'facts' :)

I did say that I made a mistake and misread. And I found the correct info. I think I stated that to you right?

So your point is?

Jay,

I understand what you're saying. My point was that I feel like there better ways to get your point across. I saw the part of your post stating the law and got the point but to be completely honest when I saw the rest and how it kept going in a less than tactful manner it made me doubt you so I went and looked it up myself. I guess I just hate to see TGO members goin at each other. Just my opinion though and it is just that.

What badge?

What badge?

Thinking the same thing....

Thinking the same thing....

 

 I also wondered the same thing! I've not noticed one under DaveS's pic in a long time unless I missed it.

[Luke E.]

Doesn't really matter though, everything is calmed down and probably best left that way. 

[DaveS]

I removed it as I didn't like it thrown in my face.
