Firearms and Ammunition - As enacted, lowers the standard for the use of deadly force to protect property. - Amends TCA Title 39.

SB 1847 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-14-211(b), by extending the time period for using deadly force to protect property from 24 to 48 hours. This change lowers the legal standard for justifying deadly force by allowing more time to respond to property threats. The bill directly affects property owners and residents facing property crimes, as it expands circumstances where deadly force could be considered lawful. The amendment specifically modifies a statute governing the use of force in defense of property, not firearms regulation.
