Just for a little more info....the AG was asked to review his opinion after questions from several people pointing out what we have said. He issued a second opinion confirming his first. See AG
Opinion 08-26
There was a bill to allow carry in parks this last legislative session. It was one of the many pro gun/carry bills that Speaker Naifeh killed by sitting in on committee meetings. I'm afraid the only way any pro gun/carry bills will ever pass is for him to not to be elected to the house or at least not as speaker.
However....another point (sorry for the hijack) this law only applies to parks owned by the government, not a privately owned park.
Just as 39-17-1305 that prohibits carry in places that serve alcohol for onsite consumption only applies to places
open to the public and
within the confines of the building. In other words...outside in the parking lot during the motorcycle cruise in is not off limits. Also if you are a member of private club or some other type of club that restricts entrance to only members or at least it is not open to the public, 39-17-1305 does not apply.
All of which is a little too much to put on a card....so it is good to list the T.C.A. number and let people read the law for clarification themselves.
