Tennessee bills would expand where some gun owners could carry by designating them as law enforcement
Fox News
Two controversial bills introduced this week in Tennessee would expand where enhanced handgun carry permit holders could carry by technically designating them as "law enforcement" in certain situations, according to reports.
"This is trying to open it up so that people who go to the extreme to get this extra permit can have the right to defend themselves in more places," state Sen. Joey Hensley told ABC News on Thursday. He introduced the state version of the bill.
Hensley said the bills would not make permit holders police officers and wouldn't allow them to arrest people.
