As we now know (and by “we” I mean “everyone with access to the Internet”), the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) has just been caught ferociously manipulating the data about the Earth’s temperature.
Recently leaked e-mails from the [...]
One of Say Uncle’s readers is all “Kelsey won because of guns!” which, I have to admit, is better than, “… because progressives can’t win elections.” or “…because bloggers have no real influence.” which is what our side has been hoping they can pedal. [...] Washington shootings suspect killed, say reports
Detectives hunting the killer of four police officers who were shot dead yesterday in a suburban US coffee shop think their suspect may have died from gunshot wounds.
Officers searching for Maurice Clemmons, a 37-year-old convicted criminal, swooped on a house in Seattle early this [...]
Successful guns-in-bars team attorney Adam Dread's cat video goes viral
"In one day, my kitten has become the Sarah Palin of the cat world..."
But can the cat go into a bar?
The NRA on last week’s guns-in-bars shoot down.
This ruling is a setback for Tennessee’s law-abiding concealed carry permit holders,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. “We strongly urge Attorney General Robert Cooper to defend the Tennessee statute and appeal this unwise ruling.” … “Right-to-carry permit holders in Tennessee [...]
I’ve talked to a few folks about the results of the suit. Of the 4 legal types I’ve talked to, three say that it’s likely not applicable state wide. One says it might be. Only enforceable in the county since a chancery court is a local court [...]
If the Court declares the entire statute, T.C.A. 39-17-1305, unconstitutional and unenforceable. This would completely eliminate the Class A misdemeanor of carrying a firearm where alcohol is served, so permit holders could carry in any restaurant, tavern, bar, resort district, etc., that served alcohol. This would be a good [...]
Zach Wamp reminds everyone he’s the man with the most to lose in the GOP gubernatorial primary:
There’s three big issues in this state that can kill a candidate no matter which party you are from – life, guns and taxes. … I’m the only one of these four that [...]
Looks like the declaration that our guns and bars statute is unconstitutional will only spark another round of debate in the legislature to get a less vague law through.
“I thought the statute was very clear. I just think the judge was looking for something to make [...]
This week's Nashville court decision about "guns in bars" leads to our question of the weekend for reader response and comment. [...] Those hoping to sue guns and bars out of existence may have merely spurred the legislature to go write a stricter version:
“Looks like those restaurant owners in the suit just lawsuited themselves to stricter regulations coming next legislative session.” Could be, you know. Restaurant owners could opt out [...]
Gubernatorial candidate Jim Kyle responds to guns and bars unconstitutionality:
“I am happy that common sense as well as the rule of law has won the day. I have always believed in the second amendment and will continue to fight to protect it but I fought against allowing guns in bars [...]
From APB reports. KNOXVILLE - After an incident in which a man claimed he needed a gun for protection against the radical ideas inside the books at its Fountain City branch, the Knox County Public Library system has posted signs proclaiming, "Books Won't Hurt You." -- More from the' [...]
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Nashville judge finds new state law allowing guns in bars unconstitutional due to vagueness. -- More.
SayUncle: I don't see how this ruling will stand. Seems that they presumed the onus of knowing restaurant laws was on permit holders. Bonnyman's ruling is pretty asinine. [...]
Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman ruled this afternoon that the state’s guns-in-bars legislation unconstitutional on the basis that it is too vague.
The state’s regulatory framework has different classifications for restaurants and bars. It would be too difficult for the public and handgun carry permit holders to recognize the difference [...]
Sen. Jim Kyle is unafraid to run on his record:
Herron and Kyle, who are suitemates at the legislative office complex, have presented some of the more stark policy contrasts on the campaign trail. Herron voted in favor of a new law this year to allow people with handgun carry [...]
State Senator Doug Overbey on what legislator are facing in the coming session:
“This year we’re going to be talking in the General Assembly all budget, budget, budget,” he said. “… (We will have to) leave some of the other issues — whether wine in grocery stores or guns in [...]
So I made my choice last night and went to the Metro Council meeting. They didn't talk about Guns In Parks, and I didn't get to talk to Sam Coleman about his reversal, so from a gunblogger prospective I chose...poorly.
However, I did get to see how those stimulus jobs [...]
It appears that the Metro Nashville City Council will be reconsidering guns-in-parks:
Councilman Sam Coleman wants to allow guns in Metro's rural parks, so visitors to isolated parks could protect themselves.
The thing I find interesting is that Sam Coleman was one of the most vocal opponents of [...]
From the Commercial Appeal:
More time was spent on the issue of gun rights than any other, with Wamp and Haslam sparring over whether Haslam was to the left of Tennessee Democrats on gun laws. Haslam countering by saying gun-rights activists call Knoxville as gun-friendly as it could be given [...]
