Will this be used like a Good Samaritan law? Failure to assist a victim has consequences.

So Tennessee has a draft now. Interesting.
Wow that’s totalitarian. Glad I don’t live there.
As an attorney for over 25 years, I can say there seems to be a lot more justice found on the streets than in the courtrooms.
How in the world can you look at today’s FBI, ATF and other agencies, and be less worried about them having law enforcement authority than you are about an average American gun owner having it?
The quick and the dead.
I wouldn’t want that if I lived in Tennessee.
“America has a gun violence problem.”
No, it doesn’t. Gun ownership is very high here, but we have zero “gun violence.” I have lived in similar areas in Tennessee. Parts of Memphis are already far more dangerous than the “old West.”
State Sen. Joey Hensley, who introduced the state Senate version of the bill, told ABC News that the goal of the bill was to allow enhanced gun permit carriers to carry their weapons into locations where off-duty law enforcement enter, such as a store or restaurant that prohibits guns inside their business. Hensley said the bill would not allow enhanced permit holders to bring their weapons into courts or schools.
Seems like a good idea to me. They are not given the authority of a sworn peace officer, just the same 2nd Amendment rights. Lawful gun owners have proven to be incredibly responsible, so restricting them to the point it's difficult to legally carry a gun without constantly arming and disarming for various stops seems positive.
Free donuts?

Despite what is shown on television, there was LESS crime in the “streets of the old west.” Regardless, if muggers, looters, rapists, and shooters were shot on the spot, those activities would stop. It’s called DETERRENCE.
Bad idea.
Sounds like the old posse comitatus, not the draft.
What’s totalitarian about it?
Do we have enough incompetent, poorly trained LEOs already?
Scottie DeLashmit, the president of Tennessee State Lodge for the Fraternal Order of Police, said police officers in the state “spend countless hours” on the gun range honing their marksmanship skills and must qualify annually with the same weapons.
I’ve seen there training in a county near Nashville.
They practiced drawing there gun in 4 steps, even the faster
guys took about 2 seconds.
I think the average CCW holder practices more and probably
shoots better than most officers.
That sounds like it can quickly maneuver to you have to be a law enforcement officer to have one.
