AMENDMENT #2 revises this bill as follows:The bill is a step forward in eliminating irrational gun free zones. It will likely be signed by Governor Haslan. He has stated that there is no point in opposing a bill that has more than 2/3 of the votes of the legislature. From nashvillepublicradio.org:
(1) Prohibits a "local government or a permittee thereof" instead of an entity of "local or state government" from enacting or enforcing a prohibition or restriction on the possession of a "handgun by a handgun carry permit holder" instead of a "firearm" on property owned or administered by the entity;
(2) Adds an "authorized representative with the authority to deny entry to the property" to the persons who may inspect a bag, package, or container as described above in (3) in the bill summary; and
(3) Adds that this bill will not apply to:
(A) Licensed mental health facilities, facilities licensed under the provisions governing juveniles, such as childcare agencies, or licensed healthcare facilities;
(B) Schools and parks where certain school-related events are occurring, if present law prohibits firearms on such property;
(C) Property on which judicial proceedings occur regardless of whether judicial proceedings are in progress;
(D) Buildings that contain a law enforcement agency;
(E) Libraries; or
(F) Facilities that are licensed by the department of human services and administer a Head Start program.
"You can veto it, but if something passes two-to-one, you're probably wasting your breath," Haslam says. "So you're better off to try to work on the front end to try to get the bill in as good a shape as it can be."This reform measure will eliminate some irrational gun free zones, but some new ones are created. In previous law, gun free zones were only allowed in rooms where court proceedings were actually in session. The new law changes that to buildings that contain rooms where judicial proceeding happen. It is a major change.
Is this open and ccw? You cannot ccw in a linear in Tennessee?
I think it applies to both open and concealed carry.
Not sure how it applies to “a linear”. I suspect that is a typo.
LIBRARY auto-correct again.
LIBRARY auto-correct again.
Yes, they included librarys as gun free zones.
Really stupid. But most library staff are dedicated “progressives”.
My biggest gripe is I can’t Carry when I have to go to MEMPHIS to go to the doctors, yes plural, you have to have a Specialist for everything these days, as Primary’s are not well educated on the nuances of multiple health conditions and what meds to use. Last trip on Thursday was Cornea Doc. 3 yr battle with wrong, badly done cataract implant.
I have to drive 2 hrs round trip, and some of it takes me to areas I deem not safe. Technically there is NO SAFE place in Memphis the crime Capitol of TN.
