Anyone has a right to operate a boat on Tennessee’s lakes and waterways provided they have passed a boater safety course, or to drive a motor vehicle on state roads provided they have passed the state’s driving test.
Those provisions are necessary to enhance public safety, just as is the state’s firearm safety course, which is required to obtain a permit to carry a handgun in Tennessee.
Rep. Scotty Campbell of Mountain City wants to change that. “The Constitution does not say that you have to pay money for a permit to have permission to carry a firearm,” he said in introducing a bill that would allow state residents to go armed without a permit. |

The scribe that wrote this lacks the common sense.
Constitutional carry is the law in more than a dozen states and has not been a problem.
Perhaps the writer should do some research before he accuses others of what he is guilty of. |

"[T]he Supreme Court has interpreted the Second Amendment as giving Americans a constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
BZZZZZT!!! Disqualified.
Anyone who fails (or refuses) to understand the foundational principle of God-given fundamental rights is automatically eliminated from participating in any 'debate.' |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
