Amends TCA Title 39.
Tennessee HB1392 amends existing law regarding the carrying of firearms by removing the exemption that allows individuals who meet specific criteria—such as being at least 21 years old or an honorably discharged veteran—to carry a handgun without facing prosecution for carrying with intent to go armed. The bill affects individuals who currently qualify for this exemption, potentially subjecting them to misdemeanor charges for carrying a handgun in public. Key changes include the elimination of the exemption based on age and military service status, thereby increasing legal restrictions on carrying handguns in public spaces.
