Expect the number to go up a bit
TDT reports that, since 2005, 1,200 Tennesseans who were issued handgun carry permits have had them revoked. I would imagine that more thorough search of the records by state officials is forthcoming given the recent bad press the Department of Safety has received due to reported felons with permits.

Personally, I think it’s stupid for non-violent felons to be denied their rights (or for that matter, to exist. What the hell is a non-violent felony anyway?) So now, they’ll be prosecuted for attempting to exercise that right despite the fact that they attempted to live by the letter of the law. Weird and stupid, me thinks.
