Mark W. Smith, a constitutional attorney, critically analyzes a legal brief filed by the Tennessee Attorney General to maintain gun-free status in public parks. The brief, in the case Hughes v. Lee, challenges a lower court's ruling that found the ban unconstitutional for permitless carry. Smith argues the state's reliance on late 19th-century historical analogs is insufficient to define the Second Amendment's original public meaning, contrasting it with historical firearm carry in public spaces.
