State suspends gun carry permit for TN man who made viral video



CAMDEN, TN (WSMV) -

A Middle Tennessee firearms trainer who made an ominous and very public promise in a YouTube video that gained national attention this week, has had his handgun carry permit suspended Friday by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

James Yeager, 42, had his permit suspended based on a "material likelihood of risk of harm to the public," the department said in a statement.

Yeager told Channel 4 News he is aware of the suspension, and his attorney will handle his statements going forward.

The department said Yeager has the right to seek a review of the decision.

Sometimes you get away with ranting and threatening. Sometimes there is an humiliating blowback.

Grow Up, get real, and settle down.

Given that state's politics, I'd have thought they'd nominate ol' Jimmy for governor...

He wanted to create a swat team for a community of 500 people. This guy sounds like he just wants to shoot whom ever is new/different/he disagrees with.
