Some members of Nashville's black community are worried about the impact permitless carry law will have when it goes into effect on Thursday.
According to the Washington Post, black Americans are shot and killed by police at a much higher rate than white Americans. The Middle Tennessee Black Gun Club told News 4 they have been working to ease some of those concerns.
The permitless carry law allows anyone 21 years old and older who can legally own a firearm to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. |

"Makes me wonder if it's going to increase their heightened fear when they are pulling over black drivers assuming because it is okay to have a gun that automatically we have a firearm on us," McClean said.
The fact is that the police assume every vehicle they stop may well have a gun in it until they determine otherwise. They have to assume that for their own safety.
Learning the proper behavior protocols during a traffic stop is the only way to guard against misunderstandings resulting in injury/death.
The cops know that the people who would shoot them are already carrying firearms. This law changes nothing in that regard. Follow instructions, keep your hands in sight and don't make any sudden moves, and you'll be alright. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
