Corrected History Last year I got my Tennessee handgun carry permit. Part 1 describes what the class was like, along with a discussion of some of the legal and moral issues involved in using deadly force. You’ve gotten your concealed weapons permit. Or you’ve purchased a gun that you will keep at your house for protection. What do you need to know to avoid legal trouble in the event you have to shoot someone? The Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 (hereinafter AWB) is confusing.
Much of the hype coming from the mainsteam media and anti-gun types centers around the premise that semi-automatic (self-loading) firearms were not designed for nor meant to be used by civilians. Nothing could be farther from the truth and history confirms that. Begining with the advent of the semi-automatically gas-operated firearm in the 1890's, all but a very few firearms were designed with the military in mind and most of those were of the belt fed squad operated variety.
