The Speaker of the Tennessee House Representatives got this one all wrong.

I am a CCW permit holder from Georgia and being such the state of Tennessee reciprocates my CCW permit from our state.

The 190,000 law abiding citizens who are CCW permit holders should be able to protect themselves and the other 6.5 million resides of Tennessee by carrying in bars and restaurants. There should be no place outside of government buildings and schools that CCW permit holders shouldn't be allowed to carry there weapons in. After all do you think that the bad people out there give a flip where and when they decide to pull out a gun and start killing for one reason or another?

I didn't think so!

I would much rather have a 9mm at the end of my hand when that time comes verses a cell phone with a cop on the other end when the bad guy pulls out his gun and starts shooting!

Think about it people...

You just assured the bad guys that they alone will have guns and no one else!

Let me repeat that "the bad guys alone will have guns and no one else!"

Great job Speaker!
