[TN] Legislature is quietly gutting the permitless carry bill before it passes


They have been trying to keep this under wraps so the public doesn't know until it's too late; multiple news articles (1) (2) (3) written within the last week (about the bill advancing to finance review) completely neglected to mention this bullshit.Only by reading the amendment history of the bill firsthand can one learn that both the house and senate committees quietly gutted the bill on May 22nd, exempting Davidson, Shelby, Knox, and Hamilton counties (ie. the places where most of the population lives). In other words, if you live or work in any of the most populated counties, you will officially be a second class citizen, required to bribe the state for permission to carry your firearm, while everyone else can exercise their rights freely.Here is the most recent amendment to the bill. Look at the second paragraph under the heading "Summary of Amendments".This isn't over yet. The bill still has to pass finance committee and then go to the floor. Please share this with as many people as possible, and if you are represented by state legislators who claim to support your constitutional rights (especially those on the finance committees in house or senate), please call/write and urge them to protect the rights of all Tennesseans, not just those living in rural areas. The bill is SB2671 (HB2817). via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2U02a5C
