Amends Tennessee law to require reporting lost or stolen handguns and to modify penalties for storing firearms in vehicles.

This bill amends Tennessee law to require handgun owners to report the loss or theft of their handgun to a law enforcement agency within 24 hours. It also modifies the penalty for storing firearms in a vehicle, specifying that it is a Class C misdemeanor punishable only by completing a court-approved handgun safety course, with no fine or incarceration allowed. The changes apply to handguns stored in vehicles when the owner is not present, unless the firearm is kept from ordinary observation and locked in the trunk, glove box, or a locked container securely affixed to the vehicle.
