Tennessee the 20th State to Abolish Concealed Carry Permit Requirement

AWR Hawkins 9 Apr 2021

On the same day that President Joe Biden was pushing more gun control at the federal level, Gov. Bill Lee (R) was signing legislation to do away with Tennessee’s concealed carry permit requirement.

Lee tweeted a photo of himself signing the legislation to do away with the permit requirement. The tweet included a shoutout to the NRA:

I signed constitutional carry today because it shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their #2A rights. Thank you members of the General Assembly and @NRA for helping get this done. pic.twitter.com/xv2ZenOEZq

— Gov. Bill Lee (@GovBillLee) April 8, 2021

The legislation signed by Lee takes effect July 1, 2021.

The Tennessean reports it “allows people 21 and older to carry handguns openly or concealed without a permit, along with members of the military ages 18 to 20.”

Tennessee will now become the 20th state to end its requirement for law-abiding citizens to get a permit from the government before exercising their right to bear arms.

The other 19 states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

It is the weakest Constitutional Carry law in the US.

There are lots of problems with this bill... it only applies to hand guns, adults under the age of 21 are still not allowed to carry, it creates confusion on where people can carry (permit holders can carry more places), and it also creates new gun control prohibiting people with certain types of misdemeanor crime from carrying.

In short, this was a half-assed attempt to "do something" by the NRA and TN Republicans. Instead of passing a good bill that was well written, they passed this turd.

Sorry to hear that, thanks for the update though.

Headline has a typo...TN is now state #20 to have "constitutional carry".

I am pro Constitutional Carry.

I am anti Concealed Carry Permit.

Good for the people of Tennessee.

Texas may be next. Just passed the house 84-56.

Texas should be ashamed that it isn't already on the list.

And once they're on it, they should be ashamed that they weren't the first.

Perhaps Texas can redeem itself, with a true Constitutional Carry law:

Texans used to say they were grateful for Oklahoma, because if Oklahoma didn't suck Texas would float off into the Gulf.

Since Oklahoma has been beating Texas to every liberty preserving law from gold and silver as currency to this, I just haven't heard that claptrap. Funny thing.

Maybe if Oklahama can provide the balls needed to secede, Texas can provide the infrastructure

The process is already underway.

We don't need your infrastructure or y'all's strictly theoretical balls.

Yea that's going nowhere. Looks like y'all's balls are theoretical as well. At least Texas infrastructure is real

Well, at least you don't charge for baseless prognostications like the Psychic Hotline does.

You want to know what's not going anywhere good? A complete and total failure to correctly identify who the enemy is, where the enemy is banding together, and what tools the enemy is using is what will prevent good people from defeating the evil among us. You know. Dumb ass attitudes like this:

There is no such thing as "government". "The government" is an abstract concept.

To say that "the government" is the enemy, is the equivalent of saying that "the boogie man" is your enemy.

It is people who want to deprive you of your rights. It is people who want to exercise petty control to put you in cages.

And the worst offenders of these people? People who identify as the Left.

The "right" is not innocent, but as far as the field of battle against tyranny goes, the "left" is a target rich environment.

Mary Jo Lolita, the self-declared Democrat who has never voted because she's still a sophomore in high school, is a bigger threat than Mitch McConnell? Seriously?

As long as Mary Jo Lolita doesn't vote, I have no issue with her.

I don't care how much she votes, or how hard she votes. That Democrat has a long, long, long way to go before she could possibly ever be as big a threat to my liberty, health and safety as Republican Mitch McConnell.

If Mitch McConnell were to slip in the bathtub tomorrow and die,

the next day,

he would be replaced by yet another Mitch McConnell.

who was voted into power

by Mary Jo Lolita's parents.


If it helps clarify, I consider Mitch to be a Leftist just like the vast majority of Democrats. Republican/Democrat has no meaning to me. Left/non-Left is a more useful way to classify.

Great. So instead of rebelling against the government, we'll appoint an ad hoc committee to determine who's sane and who's left, and rebel against them.

Of course, by then the government will have ripped our flank to shreds...

"the government" oh god not this again.

You could erase "the government" from existence, and within a week it would be exactly returned to where it is, because of the Mary Jo Lolita's of the world.

A week?

I know things happen faster in modern times. But last time it took 232 years to get here.

A week? No.
