TN Senate passes bill that lets teachers with carry permits ...
TN Senate passes bill that lets teachers with carry permits bring handguns to school, House may soon take up proposal
Our state has gone Trump Maga
Our state has gone Trump Maga crazy.
I wonder why they want to require teachers to get carry permits.
"Tennessee does not require a permit to carry a firearm, whether openly or concealed. If you want to carry a gun openly or concealed in public in Tennessee, you don't need a permit. As of July 1, 2021, Tennessee is a permit-less carry state. "
Thanks Gov. Lee and Tennessee legislature for making our state unsafe.
