Why are Tennessee's Firearms Laws so strict? Seriously, I can not figure it out!
In Tennessee, per 39-17-1307(a)(1), it is a crime to carry, with the intent to go armed, any Firearm... period. This is unheard of in the South, and I can not understand it.
Sure, I understand that there are defenses, per39-17-1308(a)(1),namely that the Firearm is unloaded, but... this is unheard of for a Southern State to outlaw an loaded Shotgun or loaded Rifle in plain sight while in Public. It goes further to say that the ammunition can not be about the person.
I know of no other Southern State that so strictly regulates Weapons either. Since when, in any other Southern State, has carrying a Knife, of any length, been a Crime so as long as the Knife in question was not concelaed?
The phrase 'with the intent to go armed' is unique only to Tennesse, and I think thatThe Tennesee Firearms Association should get the Tennessee Legislature to look over some thingsduring its next Legislativesession.
