I agree with "should" but about 1/3 of the US population lives in the indigo-blue states that restrict firearm ownership to a greater or lesser degree. The SC has ruled that states can restrict firearm ownership.
One big reason that the SC ruled District of Columbia v. Heller is that DC is not a state.
Still, it's hard to believe that CCW course in Tennessee wouldn't have mentioned anything about laws in other states. It was pretty dumb to bring a pistol into NYC and pretty naive to think that cops are your friends. She has my sympathy but she should have thought about it for a second or two.
I don't think NYC's Sullivan law is going to change unless NYC residents want it to change, and they haven't wanted it to change for the last 100 years.
Does TN have a CCW course? My state doesn’t. Of course, our high schools have shooting sports teams and everyone goes through hunter safety at 12.
All I had to do was go to the sheriff’s office, fill out a form, wait for it to come back (took 5 days) for the background and mental health check, and pay the fee (which you don’t pay if you don’t get one). Poof CCW.
“The SC has ruled that states can restrict firearm ownership.”
Did they address the issue of what happens when the restrictions are so onerous that they effectively nullify the Second Amendment? (only retired police officers and a handful of very rich, well-connected citizens wind up actually being issued a license, everyone else gets turned down)
