There are a lot of discussions in Tennessee about Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey’s push to eliminate gun free zones in the state Capitol area.  Here is one example of the impact that the CPRC is having. Central Tennessee’s NPR affiliate WKNO’s Chas Sisk noted this (3:18 into the interview):

Governor Ramsey cited that research when he started to argue in favor of lifting those restrictions at the Capitol.
