Tennesseans Fight Back Against Gun-Free Zones




Finally, legislators are introducing and hopefully passing common sense laws that would make business owners liable for the safety and wellbeing of their customers, especially if they’re advertising a gun-free zone.  A declaration like that is an invitation to the mentally deranged and adherents to the “religion of peace” that it’s open season on easy prey.

Sponsored by Sen. Dolores Gresham, R-Somerville,Senate Bill 1736 has a very specific purpose.

“It is the intent of this section to balance the right of a handgun carry permit holder to carry a firearm in order to exercise the right of self-defense and the ability of a property owner or entity in charge of the property to exercise control over governmental or private property,” the bill states.

To accomplish that goal, the legislation allows any Tennessean with a valid gun permit to sue a property owner in the event of injury or death provided the incident occurred while in a gun-free zone.


Makes sense to me.
