Bill Summary

As introduced, requires a gun dealer to ensure that three 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 but younger than 21. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's firearm transaction laws by adding a new requirement for gun dealers when selling firearms to younger buyers between the ages of 18 and 20. Specifically, the legislation mandates that gun dealers must wait three full days after a transaction is initially initiated before transferring a firearm to a purchaser in this age group. This waiting period appears designed to provide additional time for background checks or potential review of the purchase. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all firearm transactions occurring on or after that date. By implementing this waiting period for younger buyers, the legislation seems intended to introduce an extra layer of caution and potential safety screening for firearm purchases by individuals who are legally adults but still considered relatively young.
