They will also insist that if there had been guns available to teachers and administrators at Franklin Regional Senior High School, where the stabbings took place, someone could have stopped the 16-year-old perpetrator as soon as he initiated his attacks. ...

Tennessee: House Subcommittee to Hear Park Carry Bill Early Next Week Having awaited passage of the state Budget,  House Bill 1407  is expected to be considered in the House Finance, Ways and Means Subcommittee as early as  Monday, April 14.   It is imperative that you contact subcommittee members TODAY and respectfully urge them to vote "YES" on HB 1407. Sponsored by state Representative Tilman Goins (R-10), HB 1407 would allow law-abiding Tennesseans with a Handgun Carry Permit (HCP) to carry a firearm into all state, city, county and municipal parks.  Current Tennessee law allows a municipality or county to prohibit the possession of handguns, and therefore one's right to self-defense, while within a public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway or other similar public place that is owned or operated by a county or municipality.  This law poses a problem for citizens by creating a patchwork of laws across ...
