Here is a breakdown of the Vehicle Carry bill as passed by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Haslam:
Amendment No. 1 to SB1774
AMEND Senate Bill No. 1774 House Bill No. 1480*
(Deleted sections in red, added sections in blue)
subsection (e) in its entirety
(e) (1) It is an exception to the application of subsection (a) that a person authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351 is transporting a rifle or shotgun in or on a privately-owned motor vehicle and the rifle or shotgun does not have ammunition in the chamber. However, the person does not violate this section by inserting ammunition into the chamber if the ammunition is inserted for purposes of justifiable self-defense pursuant to § 39-11-611 or § 39-11-612.
(2) It is an exception to the application of subsection (a) that a person who is not authorized to possess a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351 is transporting a rifle or shotgun in or on a privately-owned motor vehicle and the rifle or shotgun does not have ammunition in the chamber or cylinder, and no clip or magazine containing ammunition is inserted in the rifle or shotgun or is in close proximity to both the weapon and any person.
(e) (1) It is an exception to the application of subsection (a)* that a person is carrying or possessing a firearm or firearm ammunition in a motor vehicle if the person:
(A) Is not prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm by 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) or purchasing a firearm by § 39-17-1316; and
(B) Is in lawful possession of the motor vehicle.
(A) “Motor vehicle” has the same meaning as defined in § 55-1-103**.
(B) “Motor vehicle” does not include any motor vehicle that is:
(i) Owned or leased by a governmental or private entity that has adopted a written policy prohibiting firearms or ammunition not required for employment within such a motor vehicle; and
(ii) Provided by such entity to an employee for use during the course of employment.
*(a) (1) A person commits an offense who carries with the intent to go armed a firearm, a knife with a blade length exceeding four inches (4'') [note: 4" limit repealed as of July 1, 2014], or a club.
**55-1-103. (c) "Motor vehicle" means every vehicle that is self-propelled, excluding motorized bicycles and every vehicle that is propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wires. "Motor vehicle" means any low speed vehicle, or medium speed vehicle as defined in this section. "Motor vehicle" means any mobile home or house trailer as defined in § 55-1-105.
Note to citizens who decide to take advantage of this new law. Keeping your handgun, proof of insurance, and registration in the same location is not a good idea.

Time to demote Sargent from the State House
It is time for his constituents to bring Charles Sargent home from the State House. He and the Republican leadership have turned their backs on the people who elected them. See my Examiner column HERE.

What we've been sayin'
Heinlein said, as quoted in goodreads,
FOX59 quotes some supporting statistics from Indy Police:
April 5: 300 teens at Circle Centre
Yet, Knoxville and Farragut bosses still keep citizens disarmed in city parks.

Coming in July - knife law changes
Currently, switchblades are banned in Tennessee. It is also unlawful to carry a blade over 4" with intent to go armed. I suppose one can infer that it is currently OK in Tennessee to carry a 3 1/2" blade with intent to go armed.
July 1st, the law changes. Switchblades will be legal. Blade lengths over 4" will also be legal. Does that mean you swashbucklers will be setting a new standard in Tennessee?
