AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to address firearm possession in county courthouses, specifically concerning situations where firearms are restricted or prohibited. If a county courthouse restricts or prohibits firearm possession, the county sheriff is authorized to provide free, secure, lockable storage lockers for individuals lawfully carrying a firearm. These lockers would be located at or near a designated public entrance to the courthouse, allowing those carrying firearms to store them safely and separately. The bill references existing Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) sections related to firearm possession and permits, such as TCA § 39-17-1351, § 39-17-1366, and § 39-17-1307, which likely pertain to lawful carrying and permits.
