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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
