New Tennessee Law

It just passed into law, here that you can now store your gun in your vehicle while at work , or anywhere. Even in places where guns are not allowed. Feinstein, put that one in your pipe and smoke it.

Mississippi had to do that years back. The LEOs were abusing the rather shoddy definition of "concealed weapon" in court to punish people they thought weren't cowering and boot-licking avidly enough.

As one of my late uncles said (a MHP supervisory level guy) - "If you have a weapon in the car, I can make you pay for giving me sass mouth - you could hang it by a string from the rear view mirror and the string conceals the weapon. Or I can say the front conceals the back. Either one holds up in court every time"

So eventually, the people got tired of it, made it plain to a few legislators that it had to be changed, and now the inside of your vehicle is your domicile in terms of firearms.

Local news Channel 5 out of Nashville just reported it minutes ago. So that is why I am reporting it here. Here is the link to the channel it should be here shortly: www.newschannel5.com...

I believe this is the bill the OP is referring to.

Tennessee House Speaker: "Guns in Trunks" Bill Will Pass

The so-called “guns in trunks” bill is up for a vote in the full Tennessee Senate Monday, and it now appears set for smooth sailing in the state House. Speaker Beth Harwell says the controversial measure will likely pass her chamber.

The bill is revised from last year, when Harwell and other Republican leaders prevented it from coming to a vote at the wishes of big employers.

“By limiting it to gun carrying permit holders put some safeguards in place. And the liability issue, we just had to address that. That’s just something we had to do for business,” said Harwell.

The legislation includes immunity for the property owner if someone is shot with a gun stored in their parking lot. However, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce is still opposed, saying that business owners should have the right to prevent firearms from being brought on to their property, including parking lots.

It's official. The next mass shooting in Tenn will have everyone running for their cars and it's not to get away.

This change in the law will let the state’s 370,000 handgun permit owners carry their pistols in their cars onto school properties, college campuses, their employers’ parking lots and anywhere else they please.

What is this, Mass Shooting, you speak of. Ma.. Maa.. Mass Sh.. Shooti. no, it's made up words.

Everyone knows no one goes mental and kills innocent people. They're government operatives. Brainwashed and controlled with microwave oven voice modulators and washingmachine transceivers. There are no victims in these things. They're actors and decoys and photoshopped images. No one has ever died from a gun, ever. It's all been a slow con to take your guns away. And to put drones in the sky. And to make you scared.

Don't you read ATS at all?

Hay, now stop, I have been through every page my post has vanished, is there something wrong with posting the truth here?

Well maybe if you'd put it in the proper forum in the first place, instead of philosophy and metaphysics, and someone didn't move it to off topic rant, then it would list as you expect.

When I saw it, it resided in the aforementioned forum, and when I actually entered it, it had changed to rant.

Either way, it still lists in the firehose for me.

noo they're not secreting your thread to the basement.

That is how it came up and I just did not know how to change it, so my bad sorry. How do I move all this?/

I know it's hard to find the right forums on here to post in, I get frustrated trying to find a forum, if I see someone elses post in the right forum, I can never get to the base of it to create a new thread.

They don't make it easy to put posts in the right area, that's for sure.

So I put them in rant or chat. either way I don't often have much to say so it doesn't matter.

Yours was in the wrong one, but it's still listing fine.



As for moving it, I have no idea, I think you'd need to contact the mod who moved it, or a mod who looks after the forums you want it moved it.

Can't really help with that..

I hope I just fixed it finally. it is back where it should be. Thank you for your help.

I really like what you said, very insightful, would you please repost it to the new post please. I truly mean this, and I am not being in anyway sarcastic. I promise, but to bring light to those who would choose to do wrong.

In other Tennessee news...the KKK is playing the largest rally Memphis has ever seen.

You can disreguard now thank you. And to all, sorry for any confusion, it was my bad.

Now a question of all of you, When one state passes a law that is popular, and from past voting records, how many states seem to follow suit? I think it might be interesting to find out the answer to this.

I live in Tennessee, This bill has been argued for several years. It was looking like it would pass, but just barely. The mass shootings put it on the forefront and changed a few minds. Tennessee is a beautiful state with great people. Memphis is a different world altogether. Memphis is a typical metro city with high crime. The rest of the state is full of smart, down to earth people. Very friendly. I have lived in several states, Tennessee is my favorite.We really don't have much gun crime and there has always been guns in abundance. Mostly for hunting. The deer population is massive. You can hunt deer, wild boar, bear, etc. There is generally a pistol in most cars. Not a great place to carjack someone. The women carry too. The weather is even great. It was in the high 50's today.
