Governor signs guns-in-parks bill

[Old Coot]

Tennessean

Gov. Phil Bredesen signed the guns-in-parks bill Friday, after a deal to exempt local parks broke down.

In a brief letter to House Speaker Kent Williams, Bredesen encouraged local governments to take advantage of a provision that lets them keep guns out of specific parks.

Separately, the governor told Williams that he intends to let the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act to become law without his signature. That act says that the federal government has no right to regulate guns that are made in Tennessee and never cross state lines.
