From the Tennessean:

Franklin joins two other Williamson County governments in deciding to opt out of a state law allowing guns in parks.

City aldermen voted 6-2 Tuesday to keep handgun carry permit holders from bringing their weapons into city parks.

Mayor John Schroer and city department directors had opposed allowing guns in the parks. Aldermen Dana McLendon and Beverly Burger voted against opting out.

“People voting in favor of the resolution are afraid of the wrong people,” said McLendon, who has a handgun carry permit.
