Tennessee No Firearms Sign Requirements
Under Tennessee Code Annotated Section 39-17-1359, qualifying property owners and businesses may prohibit firearms on property they own, operate, manage, or control, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
To provide statutory notice of a firearm prohibition, signs must be prominently displayed at entrances primarily used to enter the restricted property or building. Tennessee law establishes specific wording, lettering dimensions, and firearm symbol requirements for compliant signage.
Who Needs the Tennessee No Firearms Poster?
Businesses and property owners seeking to establish firearm restrictions may use No Firearms signage to communicate their policies. Potential locations include offices, retail establishments, commercial buildings, private facilities, and other properties where restrictions are legally permitted.
Property owners should review Tennessee law before implementing firearm restrictions, particularly where special rules or statutory exceptions apply.
Tennessee Firearm Restriction Signage Compliance
Tennessee law establishes specific requirements for signs used to prohibit firearms. A statutory prohibition sign must include the words "NO FIREARMS ALLOWED," the applicable Tennessee statutory citation, and a firearm prohibition symbol meeting prescribed dimensions.
The required wording and symbol must be clearly visible. A general No Firearms sign that does not meet all statutory specifications may communicate a business policy without satisfying the requirements for statutory notice.
Employers should also review Tennessee's laws concerning firearms stored in privately owned vehicles and other applicable exceptions.
