Sadly, gun owners continue to be ...

.
... their own worst enemies:

A bill seeking to allow Tennesseans to openly carry firearms in public without permits has been defeated in a House subcommittee.

The House Finance Subcommittee voted 10-1 on Monday night against the measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Micah Van Huss of Jonesborough.

I don't know how to link to the Facebook post, but that's where the real comments are, and where we see the elitism that is the gun rights community.

"Open carriers get shot first."  "Concealed carry is tactically superior."  "You have to take a class so we know you're not an idiot."

I weep for our cause.
