State of Emergency Rules on carry?


Recommended Posts

Just did some searching and found this:

We also must take the time to highlight the many victories that were achieved in the Volunteer State during this session, which include the signing of “Castle Doctrine†legislation, Emergency Powers legislation, and “No-Net-Loss†legislation into law.Governor Bredesen signed House Bill 145, sponsored by State Representative Michael McDonald (D-44). HB145, “No-Net-Loss†legislation, requires the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency to have a base line number of public hunting acres that are always open to hunting, guaranteeing that future generations have the same hunting opportunities that are enjoyed today. Also signed was Senate Bill 1597, introduced by State Senator Mark Norris (R-32), legislation prohibiting any government agency from regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport, and carry of firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred following Hurricane Katrina. Governor Bredesen did not stop there, also giving his approval to House Bill 1907, the “Castle Doctrine†self-defense bill. HB 1907, championed by State Representative Randy Rinks (D-71), will permit an individual to use deadly force to protect him or herself wherever they have a legal right to be. The bill also provides civil immunity for those who defend themselves from criminal attack. Special thanks go out to State Senators Doug Jackson (D-25) and Paul Stanley (R-31) for sponsoring the Senate version of this legislation.

Hallelujah!
