The great state of Tennessee just became the 20th state to abolish concealed carry permit requirements
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee tweeted a pic of himself signing a bill this week to nix permit requirements for law-abiding citizens of his state, age 21 and over (18 if member of the military), to carry a concealed firearm on their person.
“It shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their 2A rights.”
I signed constitutional carry today because it shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their #2A rights. Thank you members of the General Assembly and @NRA for helping get this done. pic.twitter.com/xv2ZenOEZq
