Public housing agencies in Tennessee can no longer include provisions in their leases that bar tenants from having guns in their homes, a state appeals panel has ruled. A three-judge panel of the Tennessee Court of Appeals made the unanimous decision Thursday, saying that the prohibitions in public housing violate the 2nd Amendment rights of its residents. In the ruling, the judges cited a prominent U.S. Supreme Court decision from June that expanded gun rights, while striking down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry a gun in a concealed way in public. The Tennessee decision could set up an appeal to the state Supreme Court, which has a majority appointed by Republican governors.https://apnews.com/article/court-decisions-gun-politics-tennessee-44dcccf5208fde3eb83290bfdc6a4978
