NASHVILLE — In a surprise move, a House panel voted today to repeal a state law that forbids the carrying of handguns on property and buildings owned by state, county and city governments — including parks and playgrounds. "I think the recent Virginia disaster — or catastrophe or nightmare or whatever you want to call it — has woken up a lot of people to the need for having guns available to law-abiding citizens," said Rep. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains. "I hope that is what this vote reflects."

Tennessee is more sensible on certain things than other parts of the country.

Wow! This is turning into a tiny revolution. I love it!
I wold however caution against guns being allowed in court rooms where there are armed police and officials already, especially at sentencing. Emotions tend to overwhelm some and temporary insanity is relatively common for the families of victims against the subjects being tried. Also, there is armed presence already in the room for the common defense of all. It is truly one of the only places that violence can be stopped before folks get hurt.

...I wold also recommend the use of that spell check thingy. It likely wold have prevented me from misspelling the word would.

Pretty ironic that the very state in which his exemplar took place (VA)doesn’t have such freedom.

Wold is a word.
It’s the older spelling of “would”, and it refers to a type of terrain.

Jeeze Louise that was fast!
Some good may come out of this tragedy yet.
