Oatka,

Thanks. I knew they were coming up for a vote soon. We may not get another chance for a 'reform' in a long time.
Call early, and call often...

...defend the 2nd., it protects us all.
No fate but what we make...
 
I've been out of TN for about 8 months now, but I seem to recall that there was a Democratic Legislator who was pushing to expand the CCW laws to include places that sold Alcohol (Walmart, etc....) and places where parents took their kids (schools, parks, etc...) that are currently Verbotten.

Is this his bill?
 
Here is a list of what each of the proposals are:

HB0715 (West) SB0375 (Williams) -- Clarifies that prohibition relative to carrying weapons on public parks and playgrounds does not apply to firearms carried pursuant to concealed carry permit. - Amends TCA Section 39-17-1311.
HB0716 (West) SB1194 (Cohen) -- Authorizes employees of institutions of higher education to carry firearms on campus under certain circumstances. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17.
HB0717 (West) SB0908 (Rochelle) -- Specifies notice to be given prohibiting weapons from being carried on certain premises. - Amends TCA Section 39-17-1359.
HB0718 (West) SB1645 (Cooper)-- Firearms and Ammunition - Exempts certain persons from prohibitions on carrying firearm on school property or where alcoholic beverages sold; clarifies that person carrying weapon pursuant to concealed carry permit not subject to provisions prohibiting carrying weapons for purpose of going armed. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.
HB0720 (West) SB0665 (Blackburn) -- Prohibits possession of firearms in establishments whose primary or sole product is sale of alcoholic beverages; removes such prohibition for restaurants and related establishments. - Amends TCA Section 39-17-1305.
HB0725 (West) SB1429 (Haynes) -- Enacts "Handgun Carry Permit Records Disclosure Act." - Amends TCA Title 10, Chapter 7 and Title 55, Chapter 2.
