Bill Summary

As introduced, exempts honorably discharged and retired veterans of the United States armed forces from firing range and classroom training requirements for handgun carry permits upon presenting a DD 214 form indicating a discharge or retirement date within five years of application for the permit. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

AI Summary

This bill exempts honorably discharged or retired veterans of the United States armed forces from the mandatory firing range and classroom training requirements when applying for a handgun carry permit, provided they present their DD 214 form, which is a Department of Defense form documenting their service and discharge or retirement, showing a date within the last five years of their permit application, and also provide proof of completing handgun training during their military service. This change amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1351, which outlines the requirements for handgun carry permits, by adding a new subsection that carves out this exemption, while also clarifying that the department shall issue permits except as provided in this new subsection or other existing provisions.
