Within minutes, you are more headlines announced that the Tennessee bombed take the House and Senate just passed a vote to weapons of all residents of Tennessee, and if you do not need to see the world reduced in small cells and metal rods.

While many hope that it will not happen to experience this day, our ancestors were able to see well about 150 years ago. During the brief Confederate control of Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris Maury County Legislature ordered its citizens to 21 weapons December 1861 results. Those who followed could not be subject to a fine of up to $ 50 and have three months imprisonment.

Only those who are not in the army were subject to surrender. The weapons were in the Confederate Army activities were used in combat. Those who will volunteer their weapons a receipt for the value of the weapon, paid at a later time, of course, were given. While the intent of the governor seemed to have in good faith, it seems highly unlikely that would be an enthusiastic supporter of the current Second Amendment sit idly by as their right to bear arms and their only form of protection were torn between them.

Although times have been more than a century have changed to keep the concept of control of the legislature, the rights of man and bear arms seems not significantly altered. Arms control has been gradually developed over the decades, and Tennessee before 1989 a limited number of "open carry" state. The "open carry" classification allows citizens openly carrying a weapon, when taken as a "military or naval gun" in place and fully open, as is in the hand. The law, that instead it was not possible, not citizens, including gun case, whether visible or not.

Tennessee was revised in 1989, that the gun laws of the state share to a "problem" may allow. This was in the sheriff's office down and said, that can carry a weapon "may" be issued to authorize who "everybody". But there are still large gaps definition. In addition, this law does not require a sheriff for a permit and civilians have been issued permits were only good in the county of issue.

Not until 1994 that a Tennessee State "shall" was, but this was a very minor changes are still many problems with the legislature. With a "problem" law, the sheriff was obliged to grant licenses to firearms to any applicant who was qualified to carry, unless there are clear indications that the applicant does not have a permit. Unresolved problems in the application forms, fees have been tampered with background checks. All for each of the 95 counties in Tennessee was varied and not always guaranteed to see that the person consents. This led to a new application of the law to carry firearms out.
