This has been mentioned on my site and linked by instapundit, NRA News, and other local blogs; and it has been covered by radio host Steve Gill. But I’ve heard nary a peep out of the local press regarding his membership in a group whose desire is to export New York City type gun controls to other cities (NY controls include licensing, registering, only celebrities and those political connections can get permits to carry weapons, and excessive fees).

But this is Bill Haslam, of Pilot corporation. There’s no hunt to that work.

Nothing gets a politician's attention faster than the prospect that he may have to hunt honest work. Cut him loose and watch the rest decide to serve rather than rule. Then fire your mayor.

We should actually be touting our abundance of quality gun shows and gun stores within the surrounding 100 miles when our city courts prospective companies which are considering re-locating to Knoxville. Ditto for wealth of local dirt tracks and the new Bass Pro and Gander Mountain locations. We are so dissimilar from NYC that I wouldn't want to be lumped in the same group with it in hardly any type of association. Good grief. I sure will.
