Firearm Bill on Tennessee Senate Floor Today
Senate Bill 23, authored by State Senator Doug Jackson (D-25), will be heard by the full Senate today.
SB23 allows a person who has a valid Right-to-Carry permit to carry a firearm in a place where alcohol is served, as long as the permit holder is not consuming alcohol or is not otherwise prohibited by posting provisions.
Of course, I suppose the vote matters little since Naifeh will - as is typical - make sure that it never gets to a vote in the House. It is a serious failure on the part of pro-firearm groups that Jimmy Naifeh hasn't been politically removed from the Speaker's chair.
