Good morning, Nashville. We can’t believe we’re still talking about the Guns in Parks bill, but yesterday the State Attorney General made a few more clarifications about the ways in which the new law can and can’t be enforced.

However, you’re welcome to drive through a park with a gun as long as you stay in the car. Easy enough, right?
