Tennessee: Governor Signs Multiple Pro-Gun Bills into Law


Today, Governor Haslam signed two important pieces of NRA-backed, pro-gun legislation into law.

House Bill 508 and Senate Bill 445, sponsored by state Senator John Stevens and state Representative William Lamberth, would create a private cause of action for a party that is adversely affected by a local ordinance, resolution, policy, rule, or other enactment on firearms preempted by state law. This new law significantly reduces gun-free zones throughout the state by preventing localities from prohibiting the carrying of firearms on locally owned property unless specific security measures are in place. The Tennessee General Assembly passed this measure in the final days of the session despite opposition from gun control groups. This law will go into effect on July 1, 2017. Law-abiding citizens should not be placed in jeopardy of unintentionally violating local restrictions simply because they have crossed from one municipality to another. Gun owners continue to be unduly burdened by local ordinances which violate the current state firearm preemption law.

House Bill 752 and Senate Bill 983, sponsored by state Senator Dolores Gresham and state Representative Tilman Goins, would allow a person, who is granted an order of protection and who is not otherwise a prohibited person according to state or federal law, to immediately carry a firearm after the initial order of protection is issued. Within 21 calendar days, the petitioner is required to go through an expedited process at the DMV for a background check and will then be issued a temporary permit for an additional 60 days. This would allow a person under an order of protection to exercise his or her right to self-defense while allowing time to complete the Tennessee handgun carry permit process.

I recall how for profit prisons got rolled out in a pilot program in TN. Now senator Lamar Alexander was governor and he and his sweet wife Honey Alexander held stock in CCA, Corrections Corp of America.

Corruption is as american as apple pie and Memorial Day.

In fake conservative meme-land. In reality it has the 6th largest economy among nations in the world. It would appear the 'losers and hanger's on' kick the shit out of everyone else when it comes to business. Not to worry, there's always Taxus where you can make $7.50 an hour.

You mean like Britain....where gun violence in London is up 42%.....after they banned and confiscated guns? After they became the city with the most cameras in the world...and violent crime is up 90% in some parts of the country...You mean like that?

I think all democrats and lbgt people should have guns.

I agree ...

Our country has lowered the gun crime rate 75%....and the gun murder rate 42%....and the violent crime rate 72%.....even though we have democrats running our major cities...now that is an accomplishment.....guns aren't the problem...moron......how we handle criminals is the problem.........

For your information.....as more Americans own and carry guns....they have lowered all of those stats...........and Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack 1,500,000 times a year...that is why we are less violent than Britain...


We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400 million guns in private hands and over 15.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...


-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

 

[2aguy]

I think all democrats and lbgt people should have guns.

We should arm up and protect ourselfs from the nutz.

I agree......you may finally have started to realize that the 2nd Amendment is there to protect you from the government...first and foremost......and then criminals...

People have been saying that very thing for at least 20 years. 20 years ago California's economy was the 8th largest in the world among nations. Today it is the 6th. Does that seem like business is moving out or in.

No doubt you have to have your A game to make it here. Texas though they'll take anyone so if California seems to rough, or 'librul', or whatever Texas needs more doughnut shops.

Out here it's tech, ag, Hollywood, wine, and surfing!
