Bill making permit holder information secret clears House

NASHVILLE — The House voted 83-12 with no debate Monday night to make secret the names of all 220,000 Tennesseans who have state issued handgun-carry permits.

“This would make information contained in your handgun carry permit private and not open to the public,” Rep. Eddie Bass, D-Prospect, told colleagues, who passed the bill seconds later.

Meanwhile, House negotiators earlier in the day backpedaled on another permit-related bill and voted 3-2 to adopt a Senate version allowing permit holders to bring loaded pistols into bars and nightclubs.

Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville, the Senate sponsor of the measure shutting down public access to permit holders’ records, said he may bring the bill to the Senate floor next week...

1. The paranoia continues...

2. Yes, very paranoid..

.. for those battered women to want to keep their new addresses private.

How selfish of them.

:sarcasm:

4. This is happening because of paranoid people who are afraid of law-abiding citizens with guns

CCW holders have been harassed in some areas by idiots on a crusade to publicly shame them.

That is why these privacy bills are popping up.

3. Please give us your name and address for publication now.

5. interesting, explain why.......

Any listing of a law enforcement officer, whether current or retired is a Third Degree Felony, not to mention the potential threat of retaliation from a disgruntled ‘guest of the state’.

But an abused spouse who having obtained a CCW, should have that fact and her current address published so her stalker can find her?

Faced with an enraged ex, how effective do you she will be swatting the bastard with the EPO?
