Not that I should have to give you the advice “don’t carjack anyone,” but just in case you are the type of person that needs that bit of information, here’s another tip: Don’t carjack anyone in Tennessee!  The reason; it might be lethal.  According to http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ Tennessee is considering whether to allow drivers to carry loaded shotguns and rifles in their cars so they can use lethal force if confronted with a carjacker:

“Proposals to allow loaded shotguns and rifles to be transported in vehicles and for people to respond to carjacking attempts with deadly force are among several gun-related bills headed for floor votes in the Tennessee House.

Other gun bills that cleared the House Calendar Committee on Tuesday include measures to give current and retired judges the right to carry guns wherever law enforcement officers can, and to prohibit the state Safety Department from collecting information about weapons used in handgun training courses.”

My predictions are coming true!  Life in the United States is starting to look more the the set to Mad Max!  Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the idea of being able to defend yourself if someone is trying to deprive your life, liberty, or, in this case, property, but I get the feeling that the general public and members of the law enforcement community might be a bit put off by the idea of gut toting car drivers.  The votes are schedualed to take place today (March 18th) so perhaps we will be back with the outcome on this.  And f.y.i, you can always just rent a car…there’s no need to carjack!
