Gun bill advances
The House Judiciary Committee has just voted 6-4 to let Tennesseans carry six-shooters in playgrounds, parks, civic centers and zoos, among other publicly owned places.
The legislation by Rep. Frank Niceley, a Republican from Strawberry Plains, originally would have allowed the carrying of handguns by state permit holders in state parks. But it was amended to repeal the section of the law that forbids handguns on any property owned by the state or city and county governments.
Well, I don’t carry a six-shooter. I carry a 7 shooter and an 11 shooter (sometimes a 12).
