Tennessee Legislative Update

Friday, March 22, 2002

Gun owners have one last week to get our bills out of the House Criminal Practice Subcommittee. HB 2595 seeks to allow holders of a valid Right to Carry permit to carry their handguns where alcoholic beverages are sold, as long as the carrier is not consuming alcohol. HB 2598 seeks to authorize citizens from other states to obtain a Tennessee Right to Carry permit. HB 2599 would establishing that Tennessee will recognize all 43 states that have handgun carry permit laws, which would significantly increase the number of states that recognize Tennessee Right to Carry permits. Please call your Representative at (615) 741-2901 and urge him to support these bills.
