(T.C.A.) \u00a7 39-17-1307(g) to authorize any person at least 21 years of age, or 18 years of age and active-duty military or honorably discharged from the armed forces or reserves, to lawfully possess a firearm in a place where the person is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>lawfully present<\/em><\/span>, to carry a firearm whether <em><span style=\"text-decoration:

firearm ammunition in the person&#8217;s vehicle while on or using any public or private parking area if: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the vehicle is parked in a location in which it

the statute requires an enhanced handgun carry permit holder and a concealed handgun carry permit holder to always have his\/her permit in the holder&#8217;s immediate possession when carrying in a location or manner that would be prohibited except for the permit status and to display such permit to law enforcement on demand when in such situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The act also amends T.C.A. \u00a7 39-14-105 by increasing the penalty for theft of a firearm and T.C.A. \u00a7 40-35-501 by providing there shall be no release eligibility until a person serves 85% of a sentence, less sentence credits earned and retained, when a person is convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm when committing or attempting to commit a felony crime of violence, felony drug offense, or unlawfully providing a handgun to a juvenile or permitting a juvenile to possess a handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The following is a list of where firearms can and
