Just stating that most of our law makers are idiots.
They had the restaurant and guns bill declared unconstitutional, because it had so many parts that could be confusing to the average person.
I consider myself an "average person" and I didn't find the language of the law vague. That was a liberal judge thatdeclared that the public was too dumb to understand the law.
They rewrote 39-17-1311 and said that state parks can leave up signs prohibiting handgun carry, but allow handgun carry at the same time.
They rewrote 39-17-1311 which states city SHALL put up signs notifying people that carrying a gun is illegal, but in the same bill it says they don't have to put up signs if they pass a resolution saying they don't have to put up signs. It is a crime to carry a handgun in a park where it is illegal to carry and not posted.
I'm not even sure why they are letting cities decide to allow carriers in parks or not.
You have 39-17-1314 which lets cities with laws older than 1986 call the shots on their own gun regulations. I don't even think that is constitutional because they can only regulate with a view to prevent crime.
This is why it is important to be attentive and vote in local elections, try to put people in office that will repeal the old restrictions.
They pass a rifles in cars bill that lets anyone carry a loaded rifle in a car, as long as the rifle doesn't have a round in the chamber.
Not everyone. I believe this was an exception for HCP holders.
These people can't write a clean bill if their life depended on it.
Yeah, they can. It's just that not everyone will interpret the laws the same way.
