State of Emergency Rules on carry?


Recommended Posts

Posted

My Brother in law told me that in North Carolina the last time they had a “State of Emergency†That their handgun carry permits became temporally void during that time. That the only place you were allowed to carry was on your own property.

I was wondering if this is true for TN?

Just did some searching and found this:

We also must take the time to highlight the many victories that were achieved in the Volunteer State during this session, which include the signing of “Castle Doctrine†legislation, Emergency Powers legislation, and “No-Net-Loss†legislation into law.Governor Bredesen signed House Bill 145, sponsored by State Representative Michael McDonald (D-44). HB145, “No-Net-Loss†legislation, requires the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency to have a base line number of public hunting acres that are always open to hunting, guaranteeing that future generations have the same hunting opportunities that are enjoyed today. Also signed was Senate Bill 1597, introduced by State Senator Mark Norris (R-32), legislation prohibiting any government agency from regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport, and carry of firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred following Hurricane Katrina. Governor Bredesen did not stop there, also giving his approval to House Bill 1907, the “Castle Doctrine†self-defense bill. HB 1907, championed by State Representative Randy Rinks (D-71), will permit an individual to use deadly force to protect him or herself wherever they have a legal right to be. The bill also provides civil immunity for those who defend themselves from criminal attack. Special thanks go out to State Senators Doug Jackson (D-25) and Paul Stanley (R-31) for sponsoring the Senate version of this legislation.

A lot of states passed laws like that after the crap that happened after Katrina.

Those who think that you should retreat from a threat instead of defending you and yours are NOT from this planet.

Yep TN has that, but it shouldn't matter. If it really is some big disaster why would you be out? Assuming everyone is already near you and you don't have to go retrieve them.

You never know. Circumstances can arise that would necessitate you leaving your home.

If the authorities have the time to actually check, it must not actually be a real emergency... and if it is an emergency, attempting to strip me of one of my means of survival would certainly be considered an abuse of power, and a threat on my life. That's just me though... I haven't got a whole helluva lot to lose either way.

It sucks, but this is where planning comes in handy. In a state of emergency, I don't plan on leaving my homestead. Well:rolleyes: unless it rolls on for more than a few months. Then I might have to go sneaky, sneaky and find a sixer of Miller and a snicker bar.

If it's a real emergency, I'm going to use and carry firearms whenever and wherever necessary for my family to survive. Laws be damned.

I think we will live to see some crazy stuff happen....glad to be in Tennessee with a large enough collection to protect my Whole neighborhood. :lol:

State of emergency or not, Natural Law will come into effect where I live.

I am bound to defend me and mine according to what my maker demands that I do to preserve this body and soul that has been given to me.

Has it occurred to anyone else why they are so adamant on taking prayer and God out of everything? Please read the above.

Just another reason why concealed means concealed.
