Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tennessee Senate Bill SB0010?

Tennessee Senate Bill SB0010, proposed by Senator London Lamar, aims to exempt residents of specific counties, namely Shelby and Davidson, from the state's permitless carry laws. This would require individuals in these counties to obtain a handgun permit to carry.

Which counties would be affected by Tennessee's SB0010?

The bill targets counties with a metropolitan form of government and a population exceeding 500,000, or any county with a population over 900,000, based on the 2020 census. This specifically includes Shelby County (Memphis) and Davidson County (Nashville).

Why is SB0010 considered 'backdoor gun control'?

Proponents of this view argue that SB0010 is 'backdoor gun control' because it seeks to reintroduce permit requirements in specific, often urban, areas without directly repealing statewide permitless carry laws. This creates a tiered system that undermines the broader right to carry.

Could this Tennessee bill impact other states?

Yes, if SB0010 is successful, it could serve as a model for other states with constitutional or permitless carry laws. Legislators in those states might attempt similar measures to restrict carry rights in specific counties.
