Is that the term they use in Tenn, “Registered Gun Carrier”? I would like to know why that is even relevant since he shot the perps in his own home. Doesn’t Tenn allow people to own firearms in their own homes without registration?

The newspaper reporters’ writing skills left me a little confused.

He wrote.. “Registered Gun Carrier Shoots Home Invader”..

I have a few gun carriers (holsters), and although none of them are registered, I can honestly say none of them have ever shot a home invader. :)

Here in Tennessee, our permits carry the name “handgun carry permit”, so in the interest of clarity, the reporter should probably have stated “Registered handgun carry permit holder shoots home invader”.

Actually though, I would have preferred the headline “Homeowner avails himself of 2nd amendment, puts several rounds into home invader”. But that’s just me!

That comment was written by a “Paid Pen Wielder”, not some amateur.
These “Ink Slingers” have access to “High Capacity Rapid Fire Printers”, far beyond the ability of normal Americans to control.
Don’t try this at home. Remember they go to J-School, so they can safely sling ink for the rest of us.

No! There is no such concept in TN. Only a carry permit (not even a concealed carry permit). A liberal media type made up that term.
