A bill that would allow Tennesseans to carry guns without a permit passed its first hurdle in the state capitol, after the Memphis police director told lawmakers it would be detrimental to the city's safety
Memphis Police Director Michael Rallings went to Nashville to express his concern to lawmakers, but it didn't work.
"With masks and guns, it will appear to be the wild, wild West," Rallings said.
The bill would allow Tennesseans 21 and older, or a military member between 18 and 20, to go armed without a permit. It sparked hours of discussion Tuesday in the House Judiciary Committee, where it ultimately passed. https://wreg.com/news/bill-to-carry-guns-without-permit-passes-tennessee-house-committee-vote-despite-pleas-from-memphis-leaders/ |
