US EditionJudges rule Tennessee’s gun limits in parks and playgrounds are unconstitutional
Tennessee judges ruled two gun laws unconstitutional, expanding open carry rights in public recreational areas and citing Second Amendment protections, following a 2023 lawsuit.
- A panel of Tennessee judges ruled against two state restrictions on carrying guns, declaring them 'unconstitutional, void, and of no effect.'
- The ruling applies to carrying guns in public recreational areas, including parks and playgrounds, according to the judges.
