The elitist amendment of 1791.
Become an elitist and, yes, YOU can carry a concealed sidearm too!!
Few people understand this little caveat of the Constitution.
It was debated, argued, beaten to death in 1791 who would be allowed to carry firearms. It was determined that judges and police should be allowed to.
Computer programmers were discussed but they weren't yet in existence then so they decided to keep them off the list.
I think the people of Tennessee need to elect a legislature that will change the law of the state. I know there is a lot of disagreement about this, but the 2nd Amendment is a prohibition on what Congress can do concerning the right to keep and bear arms. The founders did not intend for the Federal constitution to limit the states, except where it explicitly says it does limit the states.
So, all the patriots and them thar cowboys and folks who carried guns, shot game for food, protected their cabins and families for two hundred years were all law breakers.
(Tennessee handgun carry permit) I sure hope you folks in Tn. can put up a good fight. I think the country is beyond tired of these Judges making law.
If so then the Tenn. Constitution is unconstitutional.
Future news...
...in other news today the court has ruled that you have a right to own an automobile but gasoline is prohibited.
You are also allowed to buy and own an unlimited supply of cooking pots and frying pans but putting food in them is forbidden.

I’m a resident of Kentucky and have a CC license. It is recognized by Tennessee. So I can carry concealed and of course LOADED in Tennessee, yet the state won’t allow its own law abiding residents to do so??? Incredible.
You’re not getting it.
The life of a cop is far more valuable than the life a single mom pursued by a psychotic stalker. The life of the judge who ruled in your case is far more valuable than yours.
See how easy this is?
