Tennessee Gun Laws
First is this, which Authorizes persons with handgun carry permits to possess firearms in all public hunting areas, refuges, wildlife management areas, and national forests managed by the state. I’m all for it.
Next, is this:
. . . some sportsmen want to amend Tennessee’s constitution to protect the right to hunt and fish. They’re concerned that animal-rights activists will use the courts to someday try to end all hunting and fishing here.
The proposed amendment is part of a national effort intended to ensure such rights. More than 10 states have constitutional protections for hunting and fishing, though some have had theirs on the books for centuries.
The right to arms is already in Tennessee’s constitution and, as we EBR types like to say, gun rights aren’t about hunting.
