My suggestion for a simplified gun law.

I just completed a post on my blog regarding a simplified gun law for Tennessee. There is no way the legislature would pass such a law right now but that's not why I wrote it. I'm hoping to get Tennesseans thinking about what could be, if we elected more sensible politicians. When more voters elect more sensible representatives we'll get more sensible laws. (duh)
This suggestion would replace the current hodgepodge of laws for HCP holders but not the permit regulations themselves.
Here's where you'll find the post:

Much of it I wrote myself but some of it is copied directly from current TN code. Since I'm not a lawyer it may have imperfections but hopefully they're minor.
I hope we see the day when something like this has a chance to pass.

My only issue with suggestion is, unless I misunderstood, is that it would still allow employers, shopping mall owners, etc., etc. to ban the keeping of weapons in a locked vehicle (unless you feel item No. 5 would address that???).

Maybe I'm reading too much into it!

Number 5, "5. There can be no prohibitions against the holder of a valid and current Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit from storing legal weapons within the confines of any motor vehicle which they own, lease or have legal control over." is intended to address that.
