To get a carry permit in TN, we have to take a course in gun safety, prove competence in the use of the firearm we list as our carry weapon, pass a background check to own a handgun, and renew this license each year. Why the hell restrict those who go through such hoops ... the criminals carrying weapons didn’t do any of these hoops, shouldn’t there be at least a few armed citizens to counter this ‘freedom’ for criminals to expect there is no self-defense from their criminal behaviors?
