TN Gun Free Zones - Accountability
Here's an interesting piece of legislation that goes into effect in my home state tomorrow.
Quote:
As of July 1, if a handgun carry permit holder in Tennessee is injured,
suffers bodily injury or death, incurs economic loss or expense, property damage or any other compensable loss on a property posted as a gun-free zone, they can sue the person or entity who stripped them of their right to self defense. In layman’s terms, any permit holder injured as a result of being stripped of their right to self defense, and their handgun, in a posted gun-free zone can file a lawsuit within two years of the event as long as they meet the following requirements:
- Were authorized to carry a gun at the time of the incident
- Prohibited from carrying a firearm due to the posting of a gun-free sign
- The property owner was not required to be posted by state or federal law and posted by choice
Can you imagine? Holding gun-free zone property accountable for injuries people sustained by being disarmed and left defenseless? Groundbreaking.
