Re: Tennessee Takes Leadership on Gun Free Zones
What I hope could come from this is a reduction in the knee-jerk reaction of so many businesses in Texas, to the open carry law, where they not only post 30.07 signs but for some reason also added 30.06 signs. Maybe the sign dealers offer a deal and a pitch, "As long as you're stopping open carry, why not be really safe, and forbid any guns."
Something like the TN law, might encourage thinking by a business owner. Discussion surrounding such a law might get their attention too. DPS says that a CHL/LTC holder in Texas is 5% as likely to commit a crime as the general public and only 40% as likely as a law enforcement officer. That fact coming out in a news story about a proposed new law might have an effect. This has little implication for me, since I just avoid 30.06 places, occasionally letting management know that I am avoiding their stores. Whole Foods and that other "health food" chain come to mind. I've contacted both of them to thank them for saving me money, since they don't want my business, and I found all the same stuff at Kroger and HEB for a lot less money. It is an inconvenience, though, when I go to a new place and discover when I get there a 30.06 sign, even though I search texas3006.com first.

Re: Tennessee Takes Leadership on Gun Free Zones
Here's a link to the law: http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInf ... 736&ga=109
Note that it includes property damage AND... it includes injury, death or damage while traversing to or from the place of business. So, if you're dumb enough to still shop at Whole Foods, and you leave your gun at home in the safe, whatever happens to you on the way to or from Whole Foods as a result of being unarmed, you can sue Whole Foods for.
This is what I call common sense gun law.
