Our state has gone Trump Maga

Our state has gone Trump Maga crazy.

I wonder why they want to require teachers to get carry permits.

"Tennessee does not require a permit to carry a firearm, whether openly or concealed. If you want to carry a gun openly or concealed in public in Tennessee, you don't need a permit. As of July 1, 2021, Tennessee is a permit-less carry state. "

Thanks Gov. Lee and Tennessee legislature for making our state unsafe.

This incident follows a number of disputes that have turned fatal at restaurants.

A Subway worker was shot and killed in 2022 after a dispute over too much mayo, authorities said at the time. A McDonald’s employee was also shot in 2020 after telling a customer to leave due to coronavirus restrictions at the time.
