Someone I’ve met before, Nikki Goeser.

One Tennessee man did. The article is poorly written since you don’t need a permit to own. But still, it’s progress.

Chris Cox has a piece in the Tennessean on how her actions are louder than words: State Representative Maggart, the Republican Caucus Chair of the State House, claims she supports gun owners, but her actions tell a different story.

Student robbed and shot in leg at TN State University. This could not have happened, they ban guns there.

Libertarians push helmet law repeal. The opening paragraph is a riot: The helmet on Barry Cassetty’s head saved him from death or disability when an SUV pulled out in front of his 2008 Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic last summer. You see, that anecdote proves the state should force you to wear a helmet because […]

Here’s the scoop and contact info for you Tennesseans.

The Tennessean: Guy Denton Savage, 42, of London, was the owner of the now-defunct Sabre Defence Industries, a Nashville-based gun manufacturer and U.S. military supplier that shuttered operations in 2010 after a raid by federal authorities.

Without avoiding the sin.

This a real poll at The Tennessean.

Should cops sell guns? Of course they should. A law passed last year prevents PDs from destroying guns confiscated. Eventually, you’ll run out of space.

Remember the woman who was arrested when she ‘lashed out’ at the agents fondling her teenage daughter? She goes to court Monday. And there’s this: Andrea Fornella Abbott, 41, will appear Monday in a Davidson County courtroom to answer to the misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. News of her July 10 afternoon arrest was picked up […]

I guess they realized they sort of abandoned us this past legislative go ’round.

Apparently, those google map cars driving around taking pictures for streetview were also poking around in unsecured wireless networks. As such, some residents in Nashville are suing. Here’s an idea: secure your wireless network.
