Crossville’s Tuesday vote to restrict Concealed Carry

What started out as a reasonable measure to restrict guns in city owned buildings has digressed into one that bans it in ALL city owned property. Tuesday is the final day to stop this word swap shell game.

An NRA e-mail alert….

TENNESSEE:  Right-to-Carry Under Attack in Crossville!  The city of Crossville has proposed and nearly finalized a city ordinance that would ban concealed carry on city-owned property.  The language used to amend this city ordinance has furthered restrictions on law-abiding citizens substantially by using the word “property” as opposed to government “buildings” or “premises.”  While Crossville’s ultimate scope for this bill was to limit concealed carry on city government-owned property, its reckless use of language reveals the true meaning of the bill to limit concealed carry on any city-owned property.  The Crossville City Council has met twice for readings on this anti-gun ordinance.  The third and final reading will take place on Tuesday, February 10 at 6 p.m, in City Hall.  Please attend this hearing and express your opposition to this measure.  If you are unable to attend, please contact the members of the City Council TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose this ordinance.  Contact information can be found here.
