Bill Lee on Thursday signed the measure into law."I signed constitutional carry today because it shouldn’t be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their (Second Amendment) rights," said Lee, a Republican approaching his reelection campaign for 2022, in a tweet.Lee initially proposed the National Rifle Association-backed legislation last year before the COVID-19 pandemic caused lawmakers to narrow their focus.
