Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, specifies that a person does not commit an offense if the person possesses or carries a firearm into an area that is posted if, upon the request of an individual authorized to control access to the property, the person immediately leaves the property or stores the firearm in a personal vehicle in accordance with state law. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

SB 441 (Tennessee) amends state law to clarify that a person does not commit a crime for possessing or carrying a firearm into a posted area where firearms are prohibited, provided they immediately leave the property or store the firearm in their personal vehicle upon request by an authorized person controlling access. This directly affects individuals carrying firearms in locations like businesses or events that post firearm restrictions. The key provision modifies Tennessee Code Annotated § 39-17-1359(c) to specify that compliance with such requests avoids criminal liability, aligning with existing storage rules under § 39-17-1313. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
