Bill Summary
As introduced, deletes the exception to the criminal offense of unlawfully carrying a firearm with intent to go armed for persons who lawfully possess a handgun, are in a place where the person is lawfully present, and are at least 21 years old or 18 years old with certain military service. - Amends TCA Title 39.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's firearms laws by removing a specific legal exception that previously allowed certain individuals to carry handguns under particular circumstances. Specifically, the bill eliminates subsection (g) from Tennessee Code Annotated Section 39-17-1307, which previously provided an exemption for people who lawfully possess a handgun, are in a place where they are lawfully present, and are at least 21 years old or 18 years old with certain military service. By deleting this subsection and related language from another statute, the bill effectively narrows the legal provisions for carrying handguns, potentially making it more restrictive for some individuals to lawfully carry firearms in Tennessee. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving time for legal and law enforcement systems to adjust to the new requirements. This modification appears to be part of ongoing efforts to refine and potentially tighten firearm regulations in the state.
