Customs is not staffed by TSA folks, they are gun totin real life officers of the line. They are actually Border Patrol officers.

Coming back from Mexico yesterday into Houston International, this is what customs looked like, one lane open for US Citizens out of 40 available. Took me nearly 3 hours to clear what normally takes 15 minutes. The mood was evil I can promise, especially from the "Crews" as they closed their line and made them go though with the Great Unwashed.

Governor signs guns in parking lots bill
Worriedman replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I personally do not think that being fired for exercising an enumerated Constitutional Right is "random", I see it more as hegemony. -

I normally respect your opinion on things, but this time I think you err. -
Governor signs guns in parking lots bill
Worriedman replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Anybody hear any problems from States that have this law with the codicil that the employer can not fire an employee for keeping a legal item in their car? I remember only too well asking the paid shill for Fed Ex if it cost them any money in any State that mandated the Citizen be able to keep their legal weapons in their private vehicles, to which he answered "No", then further questioned if the ability to keep those legal weapons in their private vehicles had caused any security problems, to which he answered "No" again. Our State Constitution ONLY allows the legislature the power to regulate the wearing of arms, not a business owner, and that again is simply the wearing of arms, not the keeping. Keeping them is supposed to be an inviolate Right. Nature gave an amoeba the instinct and the natural Right to try and survive, are we as humans any less important? But that is alright, that same document says that we are supposed to elect our Supreme Court Justices in TN, and that clergy are not allowed to be elected to the legislature, nobody pays any attention to any of that, so losing a few more of the Rights guaranteed is not that big of a deal, as long as private property, which the State, City, County or Federal government can take from you as easy as a horse takes a dump, and with just as little effort, is held sacrosanct, (which it is not). -
I can't believe how stupid I have been
Worriedman replied to mav's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Hard to get some folks to see this, but, your cash is your property. Taxes are legalized theft of property. If you did not have to give the government your taxes, you could buy more property. Government has a mechanism to take everything you have, including your life. -

Governor signs guns in parking lots bill

Jump up then and get petitions going to repeal all restrictive ordinances against materials that can be used in construction of a business, what use any piece of property can be put to regardless of where it lies. If one truly wants unlimited personal control of property, the there should be no control by government of any type for anything. That mindset would negate all ADA regulations, but I do not see anyone championing the repeal of those. Funny how it seems to only be a firearms issue that brings out the anarchist in many. Nobody wants a lead smelter to be allowed next door to their kid's school, but under the scenario of zero government intrusion, that would be permissible. -

Should said business be able to fire you for having a copy of the Constitution, tape recorder, video camera, golf clubs or any other legal thing kept in your vehicle out of sight and unhandled? If that restriction was not a part of the agreement upon your hiring, would it be considered ex post facto to institute such a restriction now that this law has been posted as a public chapter? -
Have you read the Constitution of the State of Tennessee?
Worriedman replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
And if you follow this line of reasoning, according to one celebrated TN lawyer, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the Union supersedes the Bill of Rights, therefore the 1st and 2nd Amendments, why actually all of them, are null and void. -
The tentacles run wide in scope. You buy ammo at Wal Mart, they give up their receipt data base to .gov, they then assume you have guns in the calibers that you purchase ammo for. Same receipt data base shows you also bought meds for anxiety... Need to create jobs, hire analyst to put 2 and 2 together...

Wine in Grocery store bill fails in committee

Wine in Grocery store bill fails in committee
Worriedman replied to graycrait's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Ramsey said they are going to proceed with passing the deal in the Senate. You can bet that if Harwell jumped in to keep it alive in the House sub-committee (which she did) they have a deal worked out. Watch, the House will tack the grocery store thing onto something else, and they will have a Conference Committee to get it out. Little boy (Mathew Hill) who popped in the House Local Government Committee will get Mae Beavered next year, Beth meant for that to go forward, and she will be displeased. -
It was HB 42, not 47.

When Did TN Lose Long Gun Carry And Why?

So very sorry for your loss. Your concern for him, and the testimony you gave as to his character speak volumes. You were lucky to have him in your life.

When Did TN Lose Long Gun Carry And Why?
Worriedman replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Original loss of Rights was 1870, when the State Constitution was redone, to make sure freed slaves were kept unarmed, and the "intent to go armed" Jim Crow law was instituted. No question of how or what, just do. 1835 version: 1870 version: Legislature picked the bones of the beat down State, and inserts themselves into a position they never previously had, nor were intended to have to increase their power. See how well that is working for us? -
Did not get to watch the video, and can not get it to pull up now, but, HB 042 went the way of SB 250, down the tubes. Guess this will make it easier for The Feds to allow us to have the Obamacare money for Medicaid (Tenn-care) Expansion for the next 3 years, now that we are being good little boys and girls.

Worriedman replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Well, ask Madam Speaker why she would not allow debate on SJR2 (election of judges). They are not listening to anything that the People have to say, only that which is best (in their opinion) for the Republican caucus. Every one of them thinks only of partisanship and the advancement of their power. Duty and obligation to their constituents is a thing of the past, it died with the penny post card evidently... -
County 2nd Amendment Resolutions
Worriedman replied to Worriedman's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I do, but then what do I know? -
Madison County was the first of Tennessee Counties to pass a 2nd and 10th Amendment supportive Resolution. (reproduced in full below) It is my understanding that McNairy County, which arguably has the most 2nd Amendment supportive Sheriff in the State, tabled their version of this same Resolution. From attendees who watched this laid on the table unanimously, there was no public comment allowed, it is being bandied about that the commissioners are concerned about the Sheriff having too much power if said Resolution is passed, along with the statement that the TN State's Attorney General has declared the resolution "Unconstitutional". Shades of Brian Kelsey, Doug Overby, John Stevens and Lowe Finney. We are getting as bad as Colorado and our US legislature.

HB118/SB142: Current "parking lot" legislation
Worriedman replied to GKar's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Will never clear the Senate, the bill as written would preclude legislators from purchasing the list and mailing lies to permit holders about how 2nd Amendment friendly they are.
