Tennessee: Senate Committee Scheduled to Hear Pro-Gun Legislation Tomorrow

Originally scheduled for last week's committee hearings, Senate Bill 1612 and Senate Bill 1774 will now be heard tomorrow, April 1, in the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Sponsored by state Senator Mark Green (R-22), SB 1612 would strengthen the state firearms preemption statute by giving all authority relating to firearms laws and regulations to the General Assembly.  Sponsored by state Senator Mike Bell (R-9), SB 1174 would allow a law-abiding gun owner to carry a firearm in his or her own vehicle without a handgun carry permit (HCP).
