    | On the debate of constitutional carry, maybe we should look at the Tennessee Constitution to determine what the limits on government may be.  Constitutional carry is a fully protected right in Tennessee. Article I, Section 26, on weapons and the right to bear arms states: “That the citizens of this State have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime.”

                      | Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!  — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |  |  |
