why I love AZ gun laws ❤️
I miss the days where shopkeepers were able to keep a shotgun under the desk
or, to be specific, i wish i was born around that time
@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty they still can in certain states
ooh
Tennessee has proposed laws in the works to add laws like what Florida is doing.
very much legal to be strapped at your job lol
(depending on how commie the state is)
My concealed carry instructor who is a local prosecutor, said that with castle doctrine, he would not push to prosecute any store owner who shot in self-defense.
^ that's generally the case
obviously there's rules surrounding that like you can't shoot someone fleeing etc
DA will do their due diligence and investigate but for a shop I highly recommend having cameras on premises for evidence purposes
Stay strapped or get clapped
If i were to say, shoot a robber with a blunder buss, im fine right?
It's not technically a weapon
yeah
Tennessee has good defensive gun protections on the books and the area I'm in for college I feel pretty confident I'd get a fair trial if it came to that, particularly when about 2/3 of people in the city have a carry permit and I can count on a single hand the places posted. However, less so if after college I move back to Memphis because I can't find a job. Most of the city is posted and is not very gun friendly.
College towns tend to not be friendly
towards people and firearms
Definitely not this one, it's bigger then a college town but still only about 28,000 people but the students still make up 1/3 of the population. However the college is a big engineering school fed mainly by the rural areas that are very conservative. Even with the professors, the city went Trump by 80%>
Here in The Lone Star State, A&M is a lot more Gun friendly.
is the campus a "gun free" zone
Currently you are able to have a firearm in your dorm room
Can't wait to do that
Outside the college and the regional hospital, most people are blue collar factory workers, some mining, or agriculture. Agriculture is probably the third biggest major at the University followed only by engineering and nursing.
interesting
Unfortunately the campus is gun free, that's because public universities in Tennessee have to be. The police have said though they won't enforce any restrictions on knives on campus.
yeah I'm not gonna bring a knife to a gun fight
it's interesting though, a vast majority of actual mass shootings happen on gun free zones
I WONDER WHY
You can't carry in some places and you are charged a fee but its better than nothing
Maybe so, but I know multiple professors who are allowed to carry on campus. Our campus police are also armed. I'm also sure some students carry and if something went down, people would get guns from cars.
or just carry concealed anyway and fuck unjust laws
"free men don't ask permission" etc etc
Yea if they had one they'd get it
Tennessee, you can keep a gun on campus as long as it stays in your private vehicle.
sadly #1 place guns get stolen from is cars
^
Keeping it in the dorm is pretty dope
