Smoke is still coming out of the Holder Tobacco Warehouse in Hartsville where a mid-morning fire damaged as much as 40-percent of the building. Assistant Hartsville Volunteer Fire Chief Mark Beeler tells Fox 17 News thick black plumes of smoke and flames were shooting from the roof and windows on the North side of the building when the first units arrived about 10:15a.m. No one was in the building but because of its size fire crews from Sumner, Macon and Smith Counties responded to help contain the fire. There's no official word on how the fire started but a portion of the roof was reportedly being repaired. Trousdale County Mayor Jake West tells Fox 17 there was very little tobacco in the building. He says a firewall kept the flames from spreading to the South side of the hugh structure which is located on Main Street in downtown Hartsville. At its height, smoke from this fire could be seen from as far away as Carthage in neighboring Smith County. Fire crews will stay on site until all the hot spots have been extinguished.

Court rules against man who lost handgun permit
May 24, 2013 16:15 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Appeals Court has ruled against a man who claimed state law regulating the carrying of firearms was unconstitutional.
Leonard Embody filed suit in 2010 after state officials took away his carry permit, finding a "material likelihood of risk of harm to the public."
The revocation came after Embody was detained by Belle Meade police in 2010 while walking with a .44 caliber black powder revolver in his hand. He was detained in 2009 while walking in Radnor Lake State Park with an AK-47-style pistol. There have been at least three similar incidents, although Embody was never charged with a crime.
Embody claimed in court the Second Amendment gave him a right to carry firearms.
The Appeals Court disagreed, ruling that the right to bear arms is not unrestricted.
