Permits won’t be needed to carry handguns
in Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee has become the latest state to soon allow most adults 21 and older to carry handguns without first clearing a background check and training after Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday signed the measure into law. “I signed constitutional carry today because it shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their (Second Amendment) rights,” said Lee, a Republican approaching his reelection campaign for 2022, in a tweet. Lee initially proposed the National Rifle Association-backed legislation last year before the COVID-19 pandemic caused lawmakers to narrow their focus. He renewed that effort when lawmakers returned for this year’s legislative session, where the GOP-controlled

Why just handguns? Would this supersede Conceal Carry? Assume more details will be forthcoming.

#1, it's concealed. Open carry is presumed legal. And is legal in Kansas, too. But it isn't tactically smart and scares the chickens.

It's sad that a state government understands the Constitution so much better than the senile old coot that is currently our non-elected presidential election thief!!!!! Hopefully it will be all 50 states soon enough!!!

#1, it is called Constitutional Carry in most states. Kansas has had it for a number of years. Most states leave in place their concealed carry permit system to let their state residents have a way to get a permit which will be honored in states which do not have Constitutional Carry, or have it only for the residents of the state. Oklahoma and Missouri honor Kansas driver's licenses as a carry permit in their states.

Might as well. The last time I renewed my permit in Texas it was a “self-investigation “ basically since the DOS permit office was under budget, understaffed, overwhelmed or all of the above. I think most now will just carry permit or not.

The first lie in the article is that a background check will no longer be needed. The truth is a background check was already done in order to purchase the gun that will be carried.

Needs to happen in EVERY state. I hope that South Carolina follows quickly. Virginia has open carry laws, at least for now. When we lived there we went to a Cajun restaurant which had “open carry Wednesdays” - if you showed up with a handgun on your hip or a long gun slung over your shoulder, you got a 10% discount on your meal.

I never did get a CC permit because I refuse to be finger printed like a criminal I only did that once in the Army. I don't need to pay a fee, tax or whatever you choose to call it. It my constitutional right to own and carry a firearm this is a very good move for states to perform.

#9 Maryland requires anyone who wants to buy a handgun has to take a firearms safety class, and have their fingerprints taken so they can a get a permit to but a handgun. After that, the permit has to be renewed every two years. Each step there are fees which by the end of the process totals about $250. Even after all that, once one buys a gun, and before picking up your firearm, more paperwork has to filled out for the state police which covers the same questions one has already answered when applying for a permit. Plus there is a 7 day waiting period before one can actually pick up the gun and take it home. The whole process took a little over a month for me.

#10, there are currently NO Kansas state laws that apply to or restrict the purchase of guns in any way. It's called Freedom. We must comply with various federal requirements, but there are no state requirements. Private sales are unregulated, and any adult who can legally own a handgun can carry it, openly or concealed, including into government offices, but not courthouses or police stations. The only state government buildings that are restricted are required to have all entrances guarded with armed guards, metal detectors and lockers to keep your firearms in, if you choose. Almost no state buildings have bothered. I wouldn't live in MD for anything. And their nasty gun laws are just one of the many reasons.

Joe Biden Today on Court-Packing

Earlier today, Joe Biden announced he was signing an executive order creating a “bipartisan” commission to explore ‘reforming’ the Supreme Court. As we explained, the commission would be looking at all kinds of possible revisions to the Court, including court packing. The commission would consider “the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices.” In other words, Biden and the Democrats would look at all kinds of things they could do to politicize the one branch of government which was explicitly created not to be political. So let’s listen to Joe Biden
Is Race Discrimination Legal, Or Not? 16 replies

We live in a world in which race discrimination is ubiquitous. Universities, government agencies and all major employers systematically discriminate in favor of some races, and against others, under the banner of “affirmative action.” This has been going on for 50 years. And yet, the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection has been applied to ban race discrimination by public entities in a number of contexts. Similarly, the Civil Rights Act purports to bar race discrimination in employment and public accommodations. Such discrimination in employment is nevertheless pretty much universal; see, e.g., United Airlines’ recent declaration of its intent to discriminate

Many conservatives are pushing back hard against a series of executive orders on firearms that the Biden administration announced on Wednesday. I don’t doubt that Biden would ban or severely limit private gun ownership if he could, but what is striking about these specific orders is how trivial they are. Biden frames his actions in terms of gun violence being a “public health epidemic.” He refers to the recent Boulder and Atlanta shootings, and says that “cities across the country are in the midst of a historic spike in homicides….” Ironically, that is true. But why? Not because of any lack of firearms laws and regulations, which are legion.

Per NLRB rules for union votes, both Amazon and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union - under which the Amazon employees would unionize - can file objections within five days of the count.

Looks like The Today Show just may have committed what Rush Limbaugh used to call a “random act of journalism,” as Townhall reports. They did a piece wondering why some of the states with the strictest restrictions in the country, like Michigan and New York, were now experiencing surges in the Wuhan coronavirus while the places which removed restrictions and dropped mandates, like Texas and Arkansas, had decreasing cases? Now, while they raised a good question, they didn’t come to a clear conclusion. They theorized that perhaps it was less testing in the southern states. The problem with that argument is that if that were true then the hospitalizations and deaths

John Fonte has written an excellent article called “End Nationalism, End America.” For many on the left, that’s the point. They may dislike nationalism, but what they really can’t stand is America. Their target isn’t the nation state; it’s our nation state. That’s why they want to cede as much of our sovereignty as they can get away with to international bodies. Fonte writes: If progressive liberal esteem for the democratic nation-state is low, the mainstream Left’s depiction of the American nation’s particular culture, people, institutions, and mores is even more negative. . . .

Remember the abandoned laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden—the laptop even Hunter himself conceded “could be” his—that was left in a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2019, the one that he never came back for? Well, the Daily Mail received a copy of the hard drive and has reviewed the contents of the laptop, and there’s a treasure trove of dirty secrets in there. According to text messages from 2019, Hunter begged his father to run for president. Not because the country needed him, or because he was the most likely candidate to win… Hunter begged Joe to run to salvage Hunter’s own reputation. But that revelation is small beans

Science and medicine can do a lot to make our lives better. But for that to happen, we have to be able to trust the public authorities, companies and institutions that produce and oversee the innovations. We’re already seeing the sad fruits of distrust in the unwillingness of many people — including health workers on both sides of the Atlantic — to take the COVID-19 vaccines. People don’t trust experts and government agencies as they once did, which means assurances of vaccine safety often fail to persuade. When health officials and other authorities manipulate the public, as they have throughout this pandemic, they lose credibility.
