Ok, here is what I purpose.
I purpose a near continual letter writing/petition/ campaign directed at Tennessee legislators--both in the Tn. House, as well as the Tn. Senate.
The purpose of this campaign is as follows:
To move the legislators of this state to change current Tennessee law so as to decriminalize the simple possession of firearms in this state, meaning that simply carrying a gun in this state would no longer be a crime.
Second, objective is to change the current Tennessee Handgun carry permit system so as to either (1) not require a permit to carry at all, or (2) only require a permit to carry concealed. or (3) make the permit system more along the lines of what Alaska does--issue permits to those wishing to carry in reciprocating states, but not generally require one.
I know it is a long shot to expect the current system to change--but if everyone got involved, it might get a little easier to motivate the state legislators to action.

edited to add: If you are either a Tn. resident, or have friends, or relatives in Tennessee who would help--then please ask them to write nicely worded letters to the legislators.
