HB2409 Van Huss/SB2424 Beavers

[Worriedman]

Senate passes 2424 25-2, HB 2409 got rolled to the heal of the calender in the House, where Chairman Mike Harrison arbitrarily rolled the bill to the last calender of the session, along with HB 2087 by Van Huss (anti electronic surveillance bill) even though Van Huss as in attendance and ready to present.  Old Jimmy Naifeh ploy to kill an unwanted bill. 

 

The Establishment, keeping firearms issues off the floor and limiting votes so the constituents can not see the facts and Big Business gets what it wants since supermajority came into being.

The operative phrase is... LIGHT UP THE PHONE LINES!

 

This is copied straight from the TFA:

 

URGENT ACTION NEEDED - Open Carry in TN on the verge of passing!

(anti-gun buddies Charles Sargent and Gov Bill Haslam plotting to take away your rights as seen here)

 

This morning Senator Mae Beavers' bill to allow open carry in Tennessee just passed the state Senate in an unexpected vote!!!

 

The bill, if passed in the House, would allow anyone in Tennessee who is legal to possess a gun to be able to open carry a handgun on their person without a permit, as long as it is not concealed.

 

RIGHT NOW, your urgent action is needed to see this bill all the way through to becoming law before they kill it for the year!

 

Unfortunately several weak-kneed Republicans in the state House, such as Finance Committee Chairman Charles Sargent, are preventing this bill from coming to the floor for a full vote. Rep Sargent, at the behest of Speaker Beth Harwell and Governor Haslam, is trying to run out the clock and stall the bill before they have to take a vote on it.

 

The legislature is set to close in just days, so it is CRITICAL that you call and e-mail the following legislators on the House Finance Committee and tell them to "PASS HB2409 TO THE FLOOR"

 

This is our last chance this year, it is up to you!

 

CALL THESE LEGISLATORS RIGHT NOW AND TELL THEM TO PASS HB 2409 TO THE HOUSE FLOOR FOR A FULL VOTE!!!

In addition, do not forget to contact your personal House members and demand that they intervene!!!  They can and should sign on immediately as co-sponsors on this bill.  They can and should contact Speaker Harwell to put a stop to this "community organizer" style stunt.
