NAGR: Beware Tennessee's 'Faux' Constitutional Carry Bill

 Dated.

The National Association  for Gun Rights (NAGR) is sounding the alarm on SB-765/HB-786, Tennessee's so-called “Constitutional Carry” bill.

Constitutional Carry is a policy that makes it so law-abiding citizens do not have to ask the government permission to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

According to the gun rights organization, the bill that Gov. Bill Lee supports “contains anti-gun provisions,” including measures “to impose permit eligibility requirements on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms.”

What’s more, NAGR reports, “Constitutional Carry would not be extended to law-abiding adults, including single mothers between the ages of 18-21, or for those who carry long guns.”

That’s not all. This bill, which NAGR has labeled “Confused Carry,” would create a new misdemeanor carry offense that Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has championed and has tried to get established at the federal level.
