TN Bill Clarifies Law Allowing Ammunition near Rifle

By AP

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Senate has unanimously approved legislation that makes it clear ammunition can be transported alongside rifles or shotguns as long as the weapon is not loaded. Current law specifies that handgun permit holders can transport a rifle or shotgun as long as there's no ammunition in the chamber. The proposed legislation says anyone can have ammunition next to the weapon as long as there's nothing in the chamber or cylinder.
