If I read the reports correctly this passed. This is great news.

I see that now HSO. I misread it has passed senate. I thought it said house.

Not yet and probably won't.

HB 2409 got moved to the end of the calender in the House, where Chairman Mike Harrison arbitrarily has acted as a ploy to kill it as an unwanted bill. If the legislative year runs out there won't be a House vote on it and it will simply die. Politics in a supermajority state like TN aren't as clear cut as some may think.

Great news as well. This is how it should be everywhere, open carry w/o permit.
