Where do the gubernatorial candidates stand on the "guns in parks" bill?

It's a rare occasion when the media actually reports the policy stances of state level primary candidates, so make sure you relish this little bit:

The "guns in parks" issue could also be a factor in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Two of the Democratic candidates, Sen. Roy Herron of Dredesen and Sen. Jim Kyle of Memphis, took opposite positions on the legislation that led to the current law.

Herron, who voted for the bill, said he did so Ingram also said the criticism from the Wamp and Ramsey camps on the guns in parks issue is unwarranted because Haslam has taken a thoughtful position that reflects his support of Second Amendment rights.

Sen. Roy Herron of Dredesen, who in the past has received an 'A' rating from the National Rifle Association, said he voted for the bill as a supporter of "the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against rapists, robbers and murderers."

Sen. Jim Kyle of Memphis voted against the bill, saying he preferred to leave in place prior law that prohibited firearms in parks operated by state and city governments throughout Tennessee.

"I support the Second amendment as much as anyone, but not guns-in-parks or guns-in-bars," said Kyle. "To be a leader, sometimes you have to be able to say no. I said no. My position is very clear."

Messages left with other Democratic campaigns inviting comment on the topic had not been returned late Thursday.

Herron's position shouldn't surprise you. This is Tennessee. Anyone who wants a serious shot statewide needs to support gun rights.
