TN Republicans pushing to allow open carry of assault rifles despite pushback from TDOSHS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The bill mainly only changes one word in Tennessee Code. 

“There’s many states that currently have open constitutional carry, Mississippi being one of them. I’ve talked to the Speaker, Gunn, before he retired about it,” Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) said. “Other states have constitutional open carry wide open, and in those states you haven’t really seen a problem. I understand that there’s a concern about what that would look like because it’s never been here.”

Typical Leftist reporting as you can tell by the headline. Nowhere does it say 'assault' rifles.

Personally, I've never felt the urge or need to carry a long gun around town, but if the situation ever arose I suspect most people wouldn't give a shit if it was legal or not.
