Knoxville Guns In Parks Vote Tonight!
The Knoxville City Council will be holding the first of two proposed votes tonight on whether to repeal the decades old ban on firearms in City parks. The proposed repeal will fail tonight if there is not enough support for the new motion to allow Tennessee Handgun Permit holders to carry in the City parks, following the new State law allowing for Permit holders to carry in local and State parks.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel

Mayor
Haslam once joined Mayor
Bloomberg's anti-2
nd amendement group. Now that he is running for Governor, he says that he has seen the light and now supports the 2
nd Amendment. Mayor
Haslam has enough influence over City Council to see that the ordinance allowing permit holders to carry in the parks and on the
greenways passes if he will make a stand. Call Mayor
Haslam today and let him know that gun owners will not trust him as Governor if he does not stand up for us as Mayor.
