"When it passed the new law, the legislature intended to strip local governments of the power to ban permit holders from carrying guns in local, public parks and similar areas. As the law moved through the legislative process, many people raised concerns about unintended consequences. In a recent opinion, the Tennessee Attorney General interpreted the law as not allowing local governments to ban guns in their parks and other recreational facilities, even if the governments contract with third parties to operate the facilities. This interpretation opens the door to concealed carry permit holders being allowed to bring their weapons into facilities like Nissan Stadium, FedEx Forum, and Bridgestone Arena, which are all owned by local governments and operated by third parties. The AG's interpretation of the law would certainly conflict with a league policy banning guns in these facilities."
