Got a better count of attendees from the guys who were running the tents where the petitions were at, 2800+ signatures. The local paper put the number at "over 2500". My first count was just from one petition drive evidently, I thought it looked like a lot more than 600, but I have been known to emulate a progenitor of my own, Samuel Clemens, (Mark Twain) and embellish somewhat, so I caution myself so as not to be guilty of the oppositions tactics.
Not too bad for a little backwood enclave, hopefully, the first city in Tennessee to uphold the citizen's right to legally carry in Parks!
