A major shift in Tennessee’s firearm landscape is moving through the General Assembly as lawmakers respond to a landmark judicial decision. On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the Tennessee House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear House Bill 2064, a piece of legislation that could fundamentally change where and how Tennesseans can legally carry firearms.
The bill, sponsored by Representative Chris Todd, follows a high-profile ruling from August 2025 in which a three-judge panel declared Tennessee’s “intent to go armed” and “parks” statutes unconstitutional. The court ruled that these laws improperly criminalized the core Second Amendment right to bear arms for self-defense. |

| HOW is this even a debate in Tennessee? Public property where public access is guaranteed, is public, and subject to our rights. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
