Welcome to E Tn ((;O)
It will still take down most of the no-guns signs. The reason so many shopping malls and other public establishments have a no-guns restriction isn't because they don't like guns themselves per se, but because the insurance companies all require a no-gun policy as condition of getting liability insurance.
The new law is basically a civil suit safe-harbor exemption that says that the business owners cannot be sued for the use of a legal firearm for self defense or other justifiable purpose on their premises.
Insurers no longer have a need to force blanket no-gun requirements in their insurance policies.
Thanks for the links. Very helpful.
By only protecting people who do *not* post, it provides an incentive for people *not* to post. That is what Wisconsin did previously.
At least that is how it appears.
I tried reducing that to English and was having a difficult time of it. Ack.
That makes sense. Thanks for the translation.
I think businesses that ban firearms should be considered negligent at the least, if they do not have armed security.
Wisconsin’s law is like this.
I hope North Carolina politicians are reading and listening...
The NC legislature has been good.
I saw in the paper today that it’s working on a bill to force the attorney general to defend state laws in court, in response to Dem AG Roy Cooper refusing to defend laws which liberals don’t like, such as HB2 and voter redistricting.
Also heard that the legislature is moving to outlaw the fake ID cards which some of the liberal municipalities provide to illegals. I thought the legislature had already done it, so I’ll have to check on that further.
Thank you! People are so friendly here!
Field, maybe this one is a positive step...guns on champus

While RINO halsam didn’t sign it, our legislators made it law. Saw the head line in our local Tipton Co News.
Add in Memphis.
I now live in Atoka, Tipton Co because of the high crime and taxes in Memphis/Shelby Co.
None of the political signs up for local office have party affiliation on them. So I’m at a loss of who is a conservative vs a RINO or RAT. All I know is that I don’t want the soon to be open US Rep seat to go to a RINO establishment blue blood. Fincher is retiring. Luttrell and Kustoff are establishment blue bloods, Kustoff ran the state party Luttrell is the former Shelby CO Mayor/Sheriff. I favor Tom Leatherwood, http://www.votetomleatherwood.org/about_tom he kept his word as State Sen to 2 terms and out. Conservative.
Well, we know “Gun Free Zones” are a sad, sorry joke. Criminals don’t abide by such laws, and under such laws, citizens are nothing but the turkey in the turkey shoot or fish in a barrel.
Most true Field. None of any of these laws do a thing to protect the defenseless. My 16 year old Jeremy’s killer used a 2 ft section of fence post. Ashley “Nikki” Read was just 8, beaten, raped, strangled with her own shoelaces until nearly dead, body wrapped in a tied up blanket, and thrown off a dock into a river where she eventually drowned, her killer still sits on TN Death Row 20+ yrs and the COWARD RINO GUV won’t sign the death warrant despite all state and fed appeals being finished.
Who protect the innocents like them? Sure not the INJUSTICE system.
Hooray! Love livin’ in Tennessee!
“So glad we fled SoCal for E Tennessee. So many things make
sense here.”
Ditto exactly what you said — in 2010.
Where did you end up in E TN? We’re between Kingston and Farragut.
Oh my! We’re in Farragut, neighbor!
Lenoir City for us. Last week we moved there from Kingston. Maybe we’ll run into each other one of these days! There has been talk of an Inaugural Party for E TN FReepers if Hillary LOSES in November. Would you be interested?
Oh yes! I’ll gladly celebrate on inaugural day if Hillary isn’t being sworn in.
Do we have a TN ping list?
You are close by!
Two or three months ago a few of us began to coordinate a possible get-together for the inauguration. I’ll check back on my pings and see if I can locate the list. We’ve sold a house, bought a house, and moved in less than four weeks’ time, so have been busy. Now I can get back into the groove. I will let you know about the TN group.
