As you can imagine Tim McGraw's and Billy Currington's FB and Teitter page are not exactly supportive of their decision to play this concert. I guess they forgot what happened to the Dixie Chicks. The local country station (Country 92.5) is also taking serious heat on FB.

Ironically, Tim and Billy's tour is called "Shot Gun Rider."

Additionally, the XFINITY Theater website does not mention the fact the concert will support the Sandy Hook Promise. http://www.xfinitytheatre.net/events/tim-mcgraw-billy-currington-chase-bryant/#.VS_xUM6JnAM

” Tim McGraw’s and Billy Currington”

I agree....take their guns now. This includes armed bodyguards.

Guns kill....all by themselves!

Tim has been a Dumbocrat shill for as long as I can remember. I much prefer the Mandrell sisters (since Irlene is a Second Amendment Sister).

They’re doing this in deep, unrepentantly Blue, Connecticut.

They need to try doing it where their fanbase really is. Like Tennessee.

In the future, I believe they will be referred to as “Former Country Stars”... if they are referred to at all.

SHORT STORY:

This Billy Currington chap copped to felony counts of terrorist threats, is on probation, and is prohibited from owning a firearm.

Not that I care very much about modern pop-country yodelin' yokel music, but this Billy Currington character is apparently some piece of work, according to his Wikipedia profile:

"... On April 24, 2013, the Chatham County, Georgia Grand Jury indicted Currington on felony criminal charges of "abuse of an elder person by inflicting mental anguish" and "making terroristic threats". Both criminal charges stem from an incident involving boat captain Charles Harvey Ferrelle on April 15, 2013.[12] The indictment alleges Currington made terrorist threats to Ferrelle. Currington was later released from a Georgia jail after posting $27,700 bond. If convicted, Currington faced a prison term of 1 to 5 years. Also, on April 26, 2013, as a result of negative press surrounding the indictment incident, the Charlotte Motor Speedway replaced Currington as a performer for its All Star pre-race entertainment.[13] Currington entered a "not guilty" plea in August 2013.[14] On September 25, 2013, Currington pleaded no contest to the abuse charge; the terroristic threats charge was dropped. Currington was sentenced to 5 years' probation, a $1000 fine, and anger management counseling; he is also required to have no contact with the boat captain."

News reports:

Tennessean.com: 'Billy Currington indicted for ‘terroristic threats’ in Georgia – updated'

Plead 'No Contest' to the terrorist threat case (via Fox News):
Billy Currington pleads no contest in threats case

I do believe that some agent of his trying to resurrect and salvage his flagging music career thought it would be a brilliant idea if Billy Currington were to go to New England and yodel about gun control as part of his violent terrorist threat probation and court-ordered anger management counseling.

Oh,oh Tim must really be in the process of divorcing Faith. The gun control ploy is the age old way of an old man getting into a college coed’s pants.
