If you follow the liberals conventional wisdom, the reason memphis homicides are higher today than last year is because more people are getting permits to carry. Everyone should know by now that you have to buy a gun, then get a permit so you can carry it to a liquor store in order to commit robbery. That is why it is a 'carry' permit. Sheesh. Thank God all those gun control laws are keeping us safe.

Every law abiding person in Memphis should get a gun permit and keep a gun in their homes for protection. We live in a city under siege by thuggery.

Call Range USA! The class is awesome and you learn a lot. I took my permit class there a year ago and loved it. Interesting statistic I learned in the class, 0.00005% of permit holders commit crimes. Responsible citizens are carrying guns with permits. Some say we are trigger happy and looking for an opportunity to shoot someone. That statement could not be any further from the truth. We would not take a class and pay a fee to carry legally if that were the case. We carry to protect ourselves lawfully and our families at home.
