I have a handgun carry prrmit in Tennessee as well and I hope that one day I will be able to carry everywhere legally. I do not feel safe leaving my gun anywhere other than on my side. I live in an area with too many meth addicts and illegal mexicans running around committing crimes. I also work in a building where guns are not permitted. Maybe the murder that happened in this building a few years ago might not have happened if I could have carried that day. Hmmm i wonder why violent crimes are so common in DC and NYC.

I'm glad to see our Country holding up the Amendments on which this Nation was established. Everytime, before now, my family and I would want to go out to eat in a part of town where people are vulnerable to attack by low life thugs, I would have to leave my gun in my car and not have any form of protection on me to keep me and my loved ones safe. Now, I can proudly walk down the street with more confidence knowing that my gun isn't in a place where it is completely useless, but is on my hip where I can access it. I want to be able to protect myself and my loved ones if that dreadful day ever comes when I am forced to use a firearm against another human being. I believe that any law abiding citizen should have a gun in their possession at all times, provided that the law abiding citizen isn't mentally or physically impaired to do so. If our rights to carry guns is taken, then the only ones who are carrying the guns are the people who carry them anyway for murder, robbery, drugs, and many other illegal activities. People who aren't comfortable with guns, people who flat out hate guns, people that shun guns, and people that just don't know much about guns should enroll themselves in classes taught by knowledgeable and trained instructors. By utilizing these classes, people who are ignorant on the subject of guns can be educated on what guns are and how to deal with them. My last statement will be that children should be educated on firearms just as they are educated on sex. Our children should be prepared to handle a situation in which a gun is present and what should and shouldn't be done with that gun. I believe a lot of gun accidents, which involve children, can be prevented if these children knew how to treat a gun situation. Furthermore, no child should be able to gain access to his parents' guns or any other guns as too many accidents happen as a result of ignorant adult gun owners.
Thank-You

The people who oppose this new law are the ones that have no understanding that you must pass a background check to get a carry permit in the first place. They are also the ones that believe that criminals obey the laws.

Writing from Tennessee I am just as confused as everyone else as to who thought this would be a good idea.

I think I won't be eating out for a while, at least until I can afford kevlar underwear.
