"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The interpretation of a gun law by the Tennessee Attorney General may allow fans to bring guns into professional sporting events, according to a report from &lt;em&gt;The &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tennessean&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, the Tennessee government passed a law allowing gun-owners with a valid concealed carry permit to take their weapon to a public park, overruling any local laws which banned guns in parks.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In his opinion on the law, Attorney General Herbert&amp;nbsp;Slatery said the state law prevents municipalities&amp;nbsp;banning guns themselves or allowing third parties to do the same.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"By its plain terms, as amended, (the law) applies to all parks and all other recreational facilities that are owned or operated by a county or municipality. County or municipal ownership is all that is needed to bring the property within the scope of the statute,\" Slatery wrote in his opinion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nissan Stadium, Bridgestone Arena and the FedEx Forum, homes of the Titans, Predators and Grizzlies, respectively, are all county or municipality owned facilities operated by third parties.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to lawyer&amp;nbsp;Junaid Odubeko, who worked for a former Tennessee governor, the Attorney General's interpretation of the law seems to leave room for permit-holders to bring guns into these venues, even if guns are banned by the leagues or teams.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"If they had a policy saying that you could not have a handgun inside Nissan Stadium, I think there certainly appears to be a conflict there between that hypothetical policy and how the AG interprets the law,\" Odubeko said.&amp;nbsp;\"There certainly appears to be a conflict.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Rohan Nadkarni&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
