New felony rules in Tennessee firearm cases
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee law sets the list of dangerous felonies that qualify under its firearm-offense law. The list covers specified homicide, kidnapping, forced labor, trafficking, robbery, carjacking, sexual offenses, burglary, and stalking crimes. It also includes starting meth production and felonies involving selling, making, distributing, or possessing with intent to sell, make, or distribute controlled substances or their analogues. Attempts to commit listed dangerous felonies also count. When an indictment or presentment names a dangerous felony, it automatically includes a lesser-included offense—but only if that offense also qualifies as a dangerous felony.
