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 |
| 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)] |
