Want a Gun-Free Zone? Tennessee Says That's on You: LITERALLY

  Think about it. In those states where concealed carry weapon (CCW) permits are issued at the discretion of the police, like New York, to obtain a CCW permit you must convince said police officials that you are in unusual danger of attack and therefore need to go armed at least as much as a police officer does. So by that logic you should be allowed to carry a gun everywhere a police office is allowed to carry a gun, lest the person or persons threatening your life specifically target you when you enter a known gun free zone. As we know attackers will do. Therefore there should be no gun free zones for people possessing a valid CCW permit. Or else the person or persons establishing the gun free zone should bear the responsibility for your safety whenever you enter his property.

============================================

Can you imagine? Holding gun-free zone property accountable for injuries people sustained by being disarmed and left defenseless? Groundbreaking.

Heading into law this Friday is Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1736, which will put into action something gun owners have been encouraging for years.

As of July 1, if a handgun carry permit holder in Tennessee is injured, suffers bodily injury or death, incurs economic loss or expense, property damage or any other compensable loss on a property posted as a gun-free zone, they can sue the person or entity who stripped them of their right to self defense.

SWEET!

In layman’s terms, any permit holder injured as a result of being stripped of their right to self defense, and their handgun, in a posted gun-free zone can file a lawsuit within two years of the event as long as they meet the following requirements:

• were authorized to carry a gun at the time of the incident
• prohibited from carrying a firearm because of a gun-free sign
• the property owner was not required to be posted by state or federal law and posted by choice

Can you imagine? Holding gun-free zone property accountable for injuries people sustained by being disarmed and left defenseless? Groundbreaking.

Think this legislation belongs in your state? Call your representative today, then get your friends and community involved as well. If it has to start with one person, why shouldn’t it be you?
