In response to calls for increased gun control, there has been a countervailing movement of red states enacting bills that have been referred to as “constitutional carry” or “permitless carry” bills. Today, some have asserted that as many as 29 states are “constitutional carry” states; however, each state has a unique statutory code, and some are not as protective as the title “constitutional carry” suggests. As a law school extern working with the Tennessee Firearms Association, I was assigned the project to evaluate whether these 29 states have true constitutional carry.
