Tennessee bill would allow officers to carry guns while under the influence

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A bill working its way through the Tennessee legislature would allow police officers in Tennessee to carry weapons while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.


The bill is sponsored by Republican senator Joey Hensley of Hohenwald, Tennessee.


As introduced, the bill would also allow for guns to be brought into parks and college campuses.



But, the bill would prohibit anyone, including people permitted to carry firearms under federal law, from carrying weapons on elementary, middle and high school campuses, expect by what the bill simply identified as "certain persons".


Number of states in our country minus the number of Supreme Court Justices?
