Just for the record, why was your permit permanently suspended?

Okay nOOb, I’ll bite.

Just why the state of Tennessee “permanantly” revoke your handgun permit and what is a “handgun permit” anyway?

What’s “in the vicinity”? 1ft? 10ft? Close enough you can dive and get it? Sounds very vague ....

It appears to me that the brief, although it mentions McDonald, fails to consider that McDonald did not address the BEARING of arms, but rather the keeping of arms in the home.

It seems unlikely to me that the right to defend one's life or the lives of one's family members disappears outside the home. The Tennessee statute appears to have an exception which permits the carrying of an UNLOADED firearm. An "unloaded and unconcealed rifle", which is allowed by the statute, is, in fact, a CLUB, which is explicitly disallowed.

I'd be pretty confident that the purpose of these laws was to disarm freed blacks at the end of the civil war. Now they are being used to disarm everybody the government decides should be disarmed.

Your main interest is firearms, you have been here since March and you don’t know that ‘banglist’ is the keyword for firearms/2nd Amendment issues?
