LOCAL PARKS WHERE AN OFFICIAL DECISION HAS BEEN MADE

Already being discussed...

Parks sign question...

Lenoir City TN: carry permitted in city parks, not permitted on athletic fields or the municipal pool.
Also heard this morning that Knox County has approved carry in the county parks.

Here's an idea...how about a TGO map on googlemaps that we could put parks, no carry, ranges, gun shops, etc...
Kind of like what this dude did:

Shooting Ranges Near Charlotte: Map Enclosed
I finally brought an idea that's been in my mind for a while now to fruition. Since I like to dabble in Google Map creation, I made a map showing all the known gun ranges near Charlotte...at least, all the ones known to me or that I could find through the interwebs. The idea is to show all ranges within a reasonable drive (around 2 hours) from Charlotte.

Here's the link: Click Here

So far, it's primarily only places that offer a range to shoot. I plan on also adding just straight up gun shops as well (without ranges) since there are a number of those around too.

I'm sure this map is incomplete, so if you know of any others that need to be on here, list it here or message me with it. Provide the name and all known information about it including an exact location...and hopefully a website. The goal is to provide a map that people can click on places and get instant info on how to shoot at a place, so websites, phone numbers, and even email addresses are needed to make the info worthwhile...regardless of whether it's public or members only.

I know there have been some other attempts at making a map like this on some other gun forums (and maybe even this forum, can't remember)...but none of them came close to offering any useful UP TO DATE information for Charlotte-area shooters. Since our fine region of the country seems to be slightly "shooting range challenged," this map should prove to be useful for those of us who just want to spend a Saturday afternoon putting lead down range!

City of Bartlett TN

Resolution 26-09, a resolution to prohibit handguns in public municipal parks, natural areas, historic parks, nature trails, campgrounds, forests, greenways, waterways, or other similar public places.

Resolution was DROPPED due to lack of support

I work with one of the county commissioners who is a HCP holder and a very strong support of the 2A. He was out of town last week and missed this months meeting, but he informed me today the county commisioners introduced a resolution to opt out and approved it. Apparently this wasn't even really planned ahead of time, as far as I know, there was no real public input on it, other than a one commissioner said he had a got a few calls about it (against carry). But there was no one there to speak for it.

EDIT: County Commissioners repleaed previous resolution. Carry now allowed. Vote 16-1. Many stated they weren't really sure what they were voting on last time. Apparently residents called and made a big enough stink to make them reconsider.

Decatur county changes mind....carry allowed.
