Snow storms and the use of deadly force in Tennessee.
|
|
With the snow storm forecast for all of Tennessee starting Friday, did you know that if
you need to defend your home, land or property from thieves or looters
that Tennessee's statutory scheme makes
it a crime for you to brandish a weapon to do so? Indeed, it may be a more serious crime than what the thieves or looters could be charged with if they succeeded in taking your property.
Did you know that you could go to jail in Tennessee if you brandished a weapon, including a firearm, to aid you making making a "citizens arrest" of a thief or looter?
Is this what you expected to be the law in Tennessee? Should the Tennessee Legislature change these laws? Is your legislator part of the reason why efforts to change these laws in 2023-2024 failed?
