The bill, if enacted, would amend Tennessee Annotated Code Section 39-11-614, allowing deadly force to prevent or terminate trespass, arson, property damage, burglary, theft, robbery, or aggravated cruelty to animals under certain conditions. The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, discusses the implications and poses questions about the appropriateness of such expanded rights.

James, has challenged New York's 'sensitive locations' doctrine, specifically the 'vampire rule' which presumes private property owners do not want firearms unless explicitly invited via signage.

This ruling is significant for New York and potentially other states attempting to circumvent the Bruen decision's historical analysis requirement for firearm regulations.
