I am glad I missed the Tennessee Permitless Carry battle.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – With the new permitless carry law, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) has more concern this year than ever before.
There have been nearly 500 car break-ins in Shelby County so far this year.
While it is a large number, Detective Toby Shaw with SCSO says it shows some progress in comparison to previous years. In 2019, there were over 800 break-ins overall and in 2020, there were over one 1,000 for the entire year.
Shaw says many break-ins are done by teens.
And this morning I was reading in the local rags about TSA complaining about people accidentally bringing their sidearms to the security check ins at Nashville Airport. I am sure that tomorrow or the day after, we will read about how Permitless Carry also contributed to the spread of the Delta variant, the conflict in the Middle East and also Hair Loss in women.
It has been a month since the law came into effect and these type of news articles are simply the reflection of desperation because the Media and the Left knew for a fact that Wild West shootouts were coming. But since the proverbial bus full of orphans has not been shot to pieces by the local Rednecks, the best they can do is blame the rash of car break ins on the object rather than the culprits.
But just because the Media is comprised by idiots, that does not mean your responsibility ends and you get to leave your firearm unsecured inside your car. Our vehicle is now containing not one, not two, but three safe boxes to lock guns in case of need if a packing relative is with the missus an I and we must enter a prohibited area.
With prices beginning at $40 and under, you have no excuse not to have one in your vehicle. And shit will happen, just ask J Kb.
