House Bill 2064 bill would change a state law prohibiting people from carrying a weapon “with the intent to go armed.” It also would legalize carrying weapons in state parks.

"The God-given right to keep and bear arms has been foundational to the continued success of our state and nation,” Rep. Chris Todd of Madison said in a statement early in the session. “This critical legislation provides needed clarity by reforming the structure of our gun laws to ensure law-abiding Tennesseans can legally carry firearms across the state. These essential changes preserve liberty and safeguard the ability of citizens to protect themselves, their families and their communities.”

That just doesn't mesh. However, I'm not a religious scholar.
