The State of Tennessee will appeal a Gibson County Chancery Court ruling declaring two gun laws unconstitutional.

WVLT reporting Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti says the state planned to appeal the ruling, citing a lack of clarity with the consequences of the lower court panel’s decision.

Following a lawsuit, a panel of judges in West Tennessee ruled last month two state firearm laws were unconstitutional: one was a ban on guns in public parks, and the other was a law against carrying a gun with the “intent to go armed.”

The AG’s office filed a motion for a stay on the ruling, allowing the law to remain enforceable while the appeal works its way through the legal system.

The Tennessee Firearms Association denounced the AG’s decision to appeal.
