Notice: Several of the pro-2nd Amendment bills are being carried in the Senate by Senator Mark Green. News reports indicate that Sen. Green is being considered and may be offered the position of Secretary of the Army in the immediate future (if it has not already occurred). If so, he may soon step down as a state senator and may not be in a position to carry these bills through to final passage. If so, we wish Sen. Green well in his potential new undertaking and hope that he helps if finding strong senators to continue with his bill package. This may also mean - but not necessarily - that he withdraws himself from the 2018 race for governor in Tennessee.
Bill Status Report
Attached is a report on bills that have had status changes since March 20, 2017.
Please look over this list and contact your legislators and the committee members with comments on these bills. Remember, when contacting legislators, face to face meetings are best. Calls and letters (including faxes) are second best. Least effective is emails - but at least send emails.
