TN panel gets it right
The Knox News-Sentintel reports:
"In a surprise move, a House panel voted today to repeal a state law that forbids the carrying of handguns on property and buildings owned by state, county and city governments — including parks and playgrounds.
"I think the recent Virginia disaster — or catastrophe or nightmare or whatever you want to call it — has woken up a lot of people to the need for having guns available to law-abiding citizens," said Rep. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains. "I hope that is what this vote reflects.""

My god, lets hope this kind of thinking spreads across this country like a wild fire.

Do "property and buildings owned by state, county and city governments" include public universities?
