http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=3109 West Virginia Strikes Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Agreements! Friday, June 15, 2007 In West Virginia Right-to-Carry reciprocity agreements have been reached by Attorney General Darrel McGraw (D) with North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and South Dakota. These agreements were made possible by the successful passage of House Bill 3074, which would amend reciprocity requirements as well as authorize the Attorney General to execute reciprocity agreements with other states pertaining to the recognition of permits to carry concealed handguns. Kentucky and Virginia already recognize Right-to-Carry permits issued in West Virginia. West Virginia is working to reach agreements with several other states, including Michigan, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Vermont.

Last time I was there they were posted.

BOT has had those signs up for months. Their policy is stupid. We need to find a better way to get the word out that no-carry policies are detrimental to public safety.

Sounds like it was fun. But hey, who cares about the guns? What I want to know is what kind of food was available.

It just doesn't seem to me that this amendment prevents the legislature or courts from banning hunting. This lion is toothless and clawless.

Well, I think that's it. It passed the House unanimously because it doesn't do anything. It looks to me like it is just worthless.

Well, not your standard gun board talk, but I'm interested in about everything and appreciate any kind of real talent - except maybe rap and hip hop.

My wife sent me this link. I think this is pretty exceptional. Have fun. [ame] [/ame]

My thinking is that if you can get a DL, you are a resident as far as Tennessee is concerned. But that would be logical, so you better call them.

Boy, that's the truth. That's a major reason why the Democrats are now in control of Congress. Republicans forgot their contract with America once they took charge. You and I are alike on some things and absolutely opposite on others. I consider myself to be an independent. I agree with Russell that creeds - no matter what kind - degrade intelligence. I think that government is best which governs least. That means it stays out of "social issues" and also out of your bedroom and medical research. Basically, I'm very pro-freedom. That translates to anti-security underwritten by government. I'd eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Welfare and a bunch of other stuff. Want to kill yourself with drugs? Sooner the better! None of my business.... Want entitlements? You are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's about it. It would be easy to become the grumpy old man sitting on the porch and bitter about how the younger generations are going to hell. Fortunately I have a realistic streak that understands that most people of any age are lazy butts who want something for nothing and are willing to give up freedom for security. I just have to live with it. It doesn't make me mad, just sad. They never seem to understand that they aren't getting something for nothing. Most people pay for it throughout their life and they are too dumb to realize it. They grumble about high taxes, but vote for people who will impose them. I'm at an age when not too far down the line I'll get to sponge off of your tax dollar. Yippee!!!!

Hey AWRIGHT!!! Congratulations. You turned in your notice yet?

Well, you have to be a Tennessee resident. I don't know how the State defines that. I'd call them and ask, but I'd guess that if you have a DL, you are a resident. You have to list your residences for the past five years. You do have to list your driver license number. I suspect that once you get the DL, you are OK to take the course and apply.

To be honest, I don't see exactly what this is for. There may be a constitutional right to hunt, fish, etc but if it is subject to the whim of "regulations and restrictions authorized by this constitution and prescribed by law" or a standard that "has been defined by state courts through case law" then you have a right as long as the legislature or courts says you can't do it - don't you? I guess I don't see anything wrong with it, it just seems useless on a state level. Maybe this is intended to keep localities from doing a blanket ban on hunting or fishing? But if that is the purpose, I doubt it would have been a unanimous vote.

http://www.newschannel9.com/articles/hunting_12976___article.html/fishing_constitution.html The Tennessee House has unanimously passed a measure to amend the Tennessee Constitution to further protect the rights of hunters and fishermen. House Joint Resolution 108 reads, "The citizens of this state have a right to hunt, fish, and harvest game and fish, subject to regulations and restrictions authorized by this constitution and prescribed by law. When reviewing such regulations and restrictions, a state court shall utilize a rational basis standard, as the standard has been defined by state courts through case law. This section shall not be construed to abrogate any private property rights, the state's sovereignty over game and fish, or regulation of commercial activities." The measure passed the full House by a vote of 92-0. Mike Butler, Executive Director of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, expects the resolution to go before the Senate during the 2008 Legislative session. If it passes there, the resolution must again pass both the House and Senate during the 2008-2009 session by a two-thirds majority. It would then be placed on the ballot of the next gubernatorial election where it must receive a majority vote before it does indeed become a Constitutional Amendment. The measure has been the subject of some controversy. Last the measure died when the National Rifle Association backed a change in the language that some felt would subject the state to unnecessary and potentially expensive, legal challenges. This year however, the NRA's objection to the current language was marginal at best.

It was fun going to a race there in 1969. That was before you had to fight 140,000 people to get away from there.

Sounds like us when they have a race at Bristol.

Eddie, what are doing online? I figured you would be at the Bonnaroo Music Festival!

This came up on another board about an Australian. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is anything special in Tennessee Code to prevent you from getting a HCP except that they do require you to give your Social Security number. But I'm guessing that you have one. http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#b13 (B13) May aliens legally in the United States buy firearms?[back] An alien legally in the U.S. may acquire firearms if he has a State of residence. An alien has a State of residence only if he is residing in that State and has resided in a State continuously for at least 90 days prior to the purchase. An alien acquiring firearms from a licensee is required to prove both his identity, by presenting a government-issued photo identification, and his residency with substantiating documentation showing that he has resided in the State continuously for the 90-day period prior to the purchase. Examples of qualifying documentation to prove residency include: utility bills, lease agreements, credit card statements, and pay stubs from the purchaser’s place of employment, if such documents include residential addresses. See also Item 5, “Sales to Aliens in the United States,†in the General Information section of this publication. [18 U.S.C. 921, 922((3), (d) and (g), 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.99(a)]

I'm not going to be able to come. Only fill the grill gas to 95%.

The right of self protection, from a thug or your own government, is not granted by a document. It is inherent - inalienable. 2A just emphasizes that right. This is my problem with the Bill of Rights. It makes people think that they have these stated rights only because they are written into the Constitution. They have them because they were born.

I've noticed lately that people do see the handgun, but try to not let on that they see it. It's a matter of whether you look like you should have a gun. If you look OK, you are OK.

Well, maybe if his prices were better, his sales volume at the store would be higher. Word gets around - positive or negative. Much negative and you might as well close your doors. I did notice that they want about the same price for a used P2000 at Byrd's as a new one costs at Crowder's. I didn't try to dicker on price since I want a 357 SIG instead of the 9mm they have in stock. Doug apparently doesn't have a lot of leeway on prices. I've heard him tell people they would have to talk to Jason who could give them a better price. What I like about Byrd's is that they have H&Ks and Doug is a nice guy. But if they are giving show customers better prices than store customers, they probably won't be seeing many purchases from me. I can do a transfer from an Internet sale for $15.
