Bill Summary
As introduced, requires a gun dealer to ensure that 14 days have passed since the transaction was initiated by the purchaser before transferring a firearm to a purchaser if the purchaser is older than 17 years of age but younger than 21 years of age. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's firearm transaction laws by adding a new requirement specifically targeting gun purchases by individuals between 18 and 20 years old. Under the proposed legislation, gun dealers must now implement a mandatory 14-day waiting period between the initiation of a firearm transaction and the actual transfer of the firearm for purchasers in this age group. This means that if a person aged 18, 19, or 20 wants to buy a gun, the dealer must wait 14 days after the initial transaction request before completing the sale and releasing the firearm to the purchaser. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all firearm transactions occurring on or after that date. The purpose appears to be to introduce an additional layer of scrutiny and potential safety screening for younger firearm purchasers, though the specific rationale is not explicitly stated in the bill text.
