Although many opponents of constitutional carry say that the law will be a cause of increased gun violence, the lowest murder rates in the country as of 2010 were Vermont, Wyoming and North Dakota — all states that allow constitutional carry, according to the FBI.
This bill in Tennessee is described as slightly tougher than a full constitutional carry law, according to WBIR.com, because it is just reducing the penalty to $25 for permit-less gun carriers, not abolishing the penalty altogether. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
