TFALAC Alert: HB0962 is now the LAW in Tennessee - effective 7/14/09

tommie brown, joann favors and sen berke voted against our right to defend ourselves)

Legislative Action Committee
Senator Jackson made an extended presentation on HB0962 on the Senate floor. Its a must watch and I will add the link to the TFAOnline forum (www.tfaonline.org/forum) when it is available.
Override vote in the Senate was 21 to 9 (3 were absent).
Senator Jackson talked for 20+ minutes. He refuted many lies from opponents and the news media. One issue in particular is the often heard "all" law enforcement opposes this as we have heard from Naifeh and Bredesen. Well, not true.
Senator Jackson stated he talked to all sheriffs in his district and several chiefs. He read letters from sheriffs in his district supporting this bill. He read a letter from a chief of police in his district who told some of the "inside" story on what happened with the Tennessee Chiefs of Police Association last week regarding the Governor's veto and how some of the chiefs REFUSED to go to the ceremony!!!
The House override was on June 3, 2009, on a vote of 69 to 23. With the Governor's help, we picked up 3 votes in the House!
Effective date, according to Senator Jackson is July 14, 2009 which is 40 days from today.
This is a major victory for Tennesseans, our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment. However, its just the beginning. We have other issues on the horizon such as parks, longarms, school grounds, "class legislation", etc., This is not the end, its the beginning of an era when 2nd Amendment legislation will not be constrained by political abuse such as we have seen by Jimmy Naifeh in the past. Its an opportunity to move forward and improve the laws in Tennessee. However, to do this, we need to grow our network. We need to grow our grassroots support. We need to open new chapters in parts of the state, such as Jackson and Cookeville areas, to build our relations with legislators, law enforcement and yes, even future governors. We need to have a presence with news media. We need to come together as gun owners and be an stronger and more effective participant in the grassroots efforts that has brought us here today to CELEBRATE!
