The following changes to Tennessee's Gun Laws are scheduled to be heard next week 3/19/08 in the Criminal and Practice and Procedure Sub Committee of the State House.
HB0702 Allows person who has permit to carry a handgun to carry gun in place where alcohol is served for consumption on premises if person is not consuming alcohol or is not otherwise prohibited by posting provisions.
HB3667 Allows any resident, who has a valid handgun carry permit, to possess his or her handgun while within the boundaries of any state park.
HB3014 Authorizes full-time faculty and staff at public schools, colleges, and universities in Tennessee to carry handguns if not otherwise prohibited by law.
I would urge any TN resident who wants to see these Bills adopted to call the members of the Committee and voice your support for the Bills.
