Tennessee's Senate Judiciary passes bill to allow permitless carry of handguns

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Tennessee's Senate Judiciary voted to pass a bill that would allow for permitless carry of a handgun in Tennessee. What is commonly called constitutional carry is already legal in 12 states with Tennessee potentially becoming number 13. 

The controversial bill passed on a 7-2 party line vote. Both the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Sheriff's Association opposed the bill.
