Couple of TN gun bills advance
Reader WizardPC emails:
HB0716 which will allow handgun permit holders in Tennessee to carry in state and federal parks (well as of 2/10) passes the Senate and the House. One HUGE downside to the new law, unless vetoed, is that local governments can vote by RESOLUTION (not an ordinance) to close an entire local park. It will now be up to local citizens to contact their local government officials to demand that the parks stay open.
HB0390 which will allow a handgun permit holder to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun – so long as there is no round in the chamber – has passed the Senate and passed the House tonight. Its on its way to the governor.
