A prominent Tennessee gun advocate has conceded some ground in the ever-widening push for more firearms in the hands of more people in more places. Without hesitation, we hope, John Harris, executive director of the Tennessee Firearms Association, said he "might agree that a jail or prison probably should be gun free." |

If your panties are all in a bunch because of "constitutional carry", then how about advocating for mandatory firearm safety training in the public schools as a prerequisite for a high school diploma.
Quitcherbellaching about how citizens won't have adequate firearms training, and accept the reality of an armed citizenry.
I doubt any member of the NRA will balk at such training in the schools. Heck-fire, lots of 'em will offer live fire at local ranges for the kiddos. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
