One day after a mass shooting in Milwaukee that left at least six people dead, Gov. Bill Lee will announce his support for legislation that would make Tennessee the latest state to allow residents to carry guns without obtaining a permit.
The governor is expected to make the announcement Thursday morning, according to four people with knowledge of Lee’s plans. The legislation is expected to allow Tennesseans to freely carry weapons in the open or concealed.
While showing his support for permitless carry, the governor is expected to announce plans to update the penalties for those who use guns illegally.
