A prominent Tennessee gun advocate has conceded some ground in the ever-widening push for more firearms in the hands of more people in more places. Without hesitation, we hope, John Harris, executive director of the Tennessee Firearms Association, said he "might agree that a jail or prison probably should be gun free." |

If your panties are all in a bunch because of "constitutional carry", then how about advocating for mandatory firearm safety training in the public schools as a prerequisite for a high school diploma.
Quitcherbellaching about how citizens won't have adequate firearms training, and accept the reality of an armed citizenry.
I doubt any member of the NRA will balk at such training in the schools. Heck-fire, lots of 'em will offer live fire at local ranges for the kiddos. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
