With a “no kidding, we won’t let anyone take it from us” stance:
NASHVILLE – The House voted Monday night to allow people with handgun carry permits to take their weapons into state parks while leaving city and county governments to decide whether guns are permitted in parks under local control.
The House also approved a bill that declares the guns of Tennesseans cannot be seized during periods of martial rule. All three bills now go to the Senate, where Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey has predicted they also will win approval.
Three cheers for the Volunteer State – that is sticking it right in the eye of liberal statists who see the people, and the States, as an annoyance rather than the core of American politics, and the bulwarks of American liberty.
