Sealed Records....

I am very curious as to why the Tennessee State Legislature wants to pass a ruling that would have the records of gun permits issued in Tennessee sealed? I have not been able to find any back up information or reasoning for this action.

Also, I'm still puzzled as to why it would be reasonable to allow people to carry guns inside our parks and inside restaurants? Nashville, in particular, already has a high incident of gun related crimes. It seems to go against all that has been done to address our crime rate in Tennessee. We are one of the highest in meth labs across the state and adding the potential for "more" gun related crimes is just amazing. Our law enforcement agencies are trying their best to control and reduce violent crimes and this legislature seems to go against their efforts.

I hope someone can explain the background and reasoning related to these rulings.
