Today, a new Tennessee law setting the foundation to stop enforcement of gun control imposed by international law or treaty goes into effect.

House Bill 2389 (HB2389) was introduced by Rep. John Windle (D-Livingston) in January. It prohibits law enforcement officers from enforcing provisions of international law and treaties that limit gun rights as specified in Article I, Section 26 of the Tennessee State Constitution. It reads, in part:

On or after July 1, 2016 no personnel or property of this state, or any political subdivision of this state, shall be allocated to the implementation, regulation, or enforcement of any international law or treaty regulating the ownership, use, or possession of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories, if the use of personnel or property would result in the violation of another Tennessee statute, Tennessee common law, or the Constitution of Tennessee.

“This bill prohibits any interference of [the right to keep and bear arms] by international treaty,” said Windle on the House floor last month.

In February, a House subcommittee voted to kill the bill, but after heavy grassroots pressure, the subcommittee reconvened on the measure, passing it by a 3-2 vote on Mar. 16. The full House passed the bill by an 88-2 vote. And the Senate passed it unanimously, 26-0.

: As of July 1, if a concealed carry permit holder is injured in
: the state of Tennessee because they are in a gun-free zone,
: he or she can hold the organization or person financially
: responsible, per BearingArms.com.

: Yep, you just read that right. The concealed carry holder can
: sue if he or she incurs bodily injury, economic loss, or
: property damage.

: The time limit you have is impressive as well. For up to two
: years afterward, the gun-free zone property is responsible
: as long as the following is met: First of all, you were
: legally authorized to carry a gun. Secondly, you were
: prohibited because of a gun-free sign, and finally, the
: property owner did it of his own volition and wasn’t
: required to do so under state law.

: Tennessee just made a great law that is going to thoroughly
: protect all of its citizens. People will be able to go to
: nightclubs, go to the gym, and take in some great local
: bands, and they will be safe.

: Think about how much of a difference it would have made in
: Orlando.
