Just look at the cast of characters that are cosponsors, reads like a whose-who of liberal anti-Liberty candidates that Lame-R has partied up with.

Thank you!

Could you expound, and expand on that please?

We do "Designated Driver/Shooter" all the time up here in Jackson. I have friends that come in from Gibson Co., they like to have some wine with dinner, so the wife and the friends get to partake, and I do the DD/S duty. If you do not see the need for such an arrangement, you do not keep up with the crime statistics in Madison Co. It is safer to leave your home in DC or Chicago than Jackson. Our City Chief of Police opined that it is a real good idea at the TFA meeting he attended a few months back when we asked him to give us some help in thoughts on surviving the 13th most dangerous municipality in the US.

I remember he was at the forefront of exposing Van Jones, the EX Czar of Green Jobs. I would love to have his research staff. He is also the driving force behind getting the message out on what and who George Soros really is. Anybody ever convicted him of broadcasting a falsehood?

Have not seen anything on the major news outlets about this.

If the Legislature has decided that the citizens of this State, more especially those who have perfected the necessary criteria to obtain their Carry Permits, are not to be trusted to enjoy the paid for privilege, (which is how the State of Tennessee treats the HCP program), then how in good conscience can they still allow any business owner to arm themselves, or to designate someone responsible for security and by State fiat allow that person or persons to be armed in an establishment without going through a vetting process, or satisfying any of the issues currently placed upon the HCP Holders?

I have always found Fallguy to be evenhanded in his involvement in discussions on the board, and to post well researched information.

The next Stated Monthly Meeting of the West TN Regional Chapter of the TFA will be held Thursday, April 14, 2011. We will meet at the usual location, Brooks Shaw and Sons Old Country Store, located in the Casey Jones Village, (56 Casey Jones Ln # A, Jackson, TN, Ph. # (731) 668-1223). Our room will be available for dining and visiting at 5:30 P.M., the meeting proper will begin at 7:00 P.M. Prior to the introduction of the evening's speaker, I will give an update of Local and State Legislative issues. Our featured guest this month will be Frank Neudecker, candidate for the 5th District Jackson City Council seat. Following our normal protocol, the speaker will make a short statement of his views and policies, to be followed by a Q/A session. Membership is NOT a requirement to attend, all are welcome.

As of Jan 01, 2011, there were 307,816 Handgun Carry Permits in the State of Tennessee. If 50% of that number donated $50.00 each to a dedicated Firearms Rights PAC, that would be $7,695,425.00 to purchase votes in this State with. (Better than $56K for each position in the Legislature). There are a few less than 40K TEA members in the State, yet they have a yearly war chest in excess of $24,000,000.00 to dole out. They get it, evidently we do not!

This might me part of the problem, outside of the fact that normally, Tennessee firearms advocates rarely agree on even the most basic of questions, which makes it hard to present a united front on any issue.

The TFA site itself heats up when the Legislature is in session, and is dealing with issues related to firearms legislation. We don't really do news and commentary on other issues. We have found that other venues of approach for social media tend to be better at reaching people other than dyed in the wool gun folks. OhShoot is right, the area Chapters are active, and we do a lot more local advocating than is evident on the site. We have a PAC that is growing by the year, and that is the ONLY way to effectively advocate for issues in Nashville, money talks, and everything else is simply noise. If you are in the Memphis area there is an active Chapter there. If a person wants to be involved, there is plenty of work to do. I regularly visit the Hill, and my association with the TFA has opened a lot of doors there, it gives me the opportunity to visit with folks there I would never have the chance to speak with otherwise. You will get out of it what you put into it. It will cost you gas money and time away from family if you are really involved, there is no glamor involved or accolades to be gained from being a member. I agreed when I joined this site to not "mine" members here for that organization, but to simply let my labor speak for itself. TGO David is kind enough to let me post my meeting schedules here, and I am grateful for that and abide by his request.

Was giving him the benefit of the doubt that it might have been a permit holder at the time of my original e-mail. But, my point is, that the perp WAS in violation of the law, if he in fact had a permit or not, as the contention was that the establishment was posted, and either status being in place, permit or not, it was illegal for the weapon to be carried into the establishment, realizing that there would be no extra charge for the non-permit holder outside of going armed to carry past a sign.

I too received a reply from Mr. Shelton: My original e-mail: His response received yesterday, Sunday March 27, 2011. I suppose Mr. Shelton will be lobbying to remove the ability of Business Owners to carry while on their property,a s well as having the ability to assign specific individuals the ability to carry as named "persons responsible for Security". Nasty old guns causing all that trouble.

David and your family added to our prayers as well.

Might very well prove to be a double edged sword.

I washed Topping House floors (unitized hog operation) at night while I was going to college. I could study till midnight, then work till 4:00 A.M., did it on a sq. ft. price. Scraping and washing down pig crap is not glamorous, but it fit my schedule, and it payed the rent. One has to decide if their family is worth the effort. Lots of other young couples with kids while in college opted to go on food stamps and take handouts, I guess I am just bullheaded enough to grow a garden and work for my daily bread.

Seems a little disingenuous to make this latest statement to the press in light of his campaign speech relative to the 2nd Amendment. I do not remember him saying his staffer would have just been SOL if the mentioned break-in had occurred on campus? From the Governors statements at the TFA meeting:

I suppose he is willing then, to directly give the responsibility of the safety and security of the students and any visitors to those campuses to the board members, of which he is the Chair of UT, he has enough money for a couple of the law suits about to come out of MTSU. Think he would be willing to share the fiscal responsibility?

You nailed it!

Scott Conger, District 5 City Council Candidate will be the featured speaker for this evening's meeting. As usual we will gather at the Old Country Store located in the Casey Jones Village. 56 Casey Jones Ln # A Jackson, TN 38305 (731) 668-1223 We are changing our normal time frame to accommodate a schedule conflict for Mr. Conger, the presentation portion of the meeting will begin at 6:00 P.M. instead of the usual 7:00 P.M. format. Our meal will follow the speaker's presentation and Q/A session. Membership is not required to attend, all are welcome.

As there is no original edict in the Constitution of the Union regarding "Voting Rights", the limitations and prescriptions were left to the States per the 10th Amendment map of Powers. But, you might check the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments for Federal involvement in the question.
