At issue is legislation sponsored by Odom (D-Nashville) to permit cities to "regulate or prohibit the discharge of weapons'' or the use of other weapons within city limits.
The House Local Government subcommittee passed Odom's bill Tuesday despite strenuous opposition from the TWRA and hunters. The bill is scheduled to be heard by the full House State and Local Government Committee next week.
"This goes to safety,'' said Odom, who has been trying to move the bill, or a similar bill, from the House subcommittee for several weeks.
