Tennessee just relaxed park-carry rules though, as I understand it, municipalities still have the option of banning weapons in their parks.
Keep us posted as to 2A rally.
This legislation is pending and has not been approved in the same form by both houses of the general assembly (unless that happened today). The governor has signed nothing yet, so still be certain to ascertain whether the location is a park or not.
ETA: The Tennessee House just concurred with the Senate version 54-41. So, the default position on local parks
if the Governor signs this will be that local parks are carry-legal unless the local jurisdiction opts out by majority vote of its governing body. Once sent to the Governor, he can either sign, veto, or allow to become law without his signature after ten days. Whatever happens, the law does not become effective until 1 September 2009. Just be careful.
