New Tennessee short-barrel gun laws add confusion for gun owners and stores

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — In Tennessee, you can buy and sell short-barrel shotguns and rifles—SB2628 made it legal earlier this year. 

“We work in a gun shop and I am a firearms trainer,” said Blaise Lane, High Caliber Weaponry and Training director of operations. “So, I am hugely supportive of the Second Amendment and everyone’s ability to own firearms for self-defense, for sporting and any other requirement that they would have firearms for.” 

High Caliber is a gun store in Nashville. Lane said there’s nothing wrong with the new law—it just doesn’t do anything. “Currently, it doesn’t change anything,” he said.

  1. Kind of like the new suppressor law here in Texas. It won't do much and I doubt anyone wants to be the first to try it.

    1. We have laws in Montana that do not restrict suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs. However, I wouldn’t expect you the state to stick up for anyone when the feds come after folks for having non-form 1 suppressors

  3. Another Tennessee Legislature "show bill that does nothing, but we can campaign in it" law.

  4. Like, how short? About 40 years ago my friend and I were trolling up Denton Creek looking for a good camping spot and just around the next bend was a Game Warden, waiting for us. My carry of choice back then was a sawed off 12 guage in a cut down gun scabbard I strapped to my hip. " How long is that shotgun?" he asked. As I handed it to him I said, "18 and 3/4 inches," (3/4 inches longer than legal.) He pulled out his tape, smiling, "If it ain't it's mine."

    1. And during "Measuring Times" the measurement is "Muzzle to breach"
      Says the guy with an 18 and 9/16ths inch Model 12 Winchester.
      And as I've mentioned elsewhere, there's that "26-inch overall length" thing that bit Randy Weaver in the ass.
