Can local governments in Tennessee enact their own firearm regulations?

Yes, without any restrictions
No, they are preempted by state law
Yes, but only regarding discharge ordinances
Yes, but only with state approval

The correct answer is: No, they are preempted by state law

In Tennessee, local governments are preempted by state law when it comes to enacting their own firearm regulations. This means that local governments are not allowed to create their own laws or regulations regarding firearms; rather, all firearm laws and regulations in the state are governed by state law. This preemption ensures consistency and uniformity in firearm laws across all jurisdictions within Tennessee.
