Gov’s office: Tennessee session on guns likely after July 4

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s office said Friday that a special lawmaking session dedicated to possible changes to the state’s gun laws in the wake of a deadly school shooting last month would likely have to take place after July 4.

The Republican governor’s spokesperson, Jade Byers, said Lee’s office offered lawmakers a list of potential dates for the special session from May through August, and determined that it will likely take place after July 4 after initial feedback from legislative leaders.
