In his 15th month of campaigning, gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey
stopped in Elizabethton Friday afternoon to try to win over the hearts
and votes local gun owners.

A small crowd gathered at Tri-Cities Gun Depot, 1760 W. Elk Ave., to
meet the lieutenant governor and hear what he had to say. Ramsey, who
is originally from the East Tennessee area, empathized with the locals
while touting himself as the “biggest defender of second amendment
rights in this campaign.”

In addressing the crowd, Ramsey shared some of his past reputation for
defending gun rights including his help with a bill in 1997 that
brought gun carry permits to Tennessee.

I was out of state myself and could not attend this Elizabethton event, but the fellow in the orange UT polo shirt and khaki pants behind the counter looks an awful lot like TNGA House candidate Jerome Cochran (although not mentioned within the Press news report).
