Tennessee lawmakers are getting close to a final vote on a plan to do away with the state’s gun permit requirement, WPLN reports. The House Finance Committee approved the measure today, putting it on track for a floor vote possibly as soon as week. HB786/SB765 has already cleared the state Senate and is being championed by Gov. Bill Lee. Past attempts to delete the gun permit requirement have stalled amid opposition from police, gun control groups and past governors. But Lee has put his full weight behind the proposal, the news station says.
