A day after killing ten bills, including a move that would let people carry guns just about anywhere, state Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, found himself in the crosshairs of the Tennessee Firearms Association. He shot back.
Gardenhire, a veteran Chattanooga lawmaker who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the firearms group hadn't "darkened" his door for years yet continued to bash him.
The group also hammered nearly every other Republican in the state for not repealing Tennessee's law against carrying a weapon with "intent to go armed," a situation in which carrying the gun has no designated purpose such as hunting. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
