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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
