Summaries you can verify
We take dense statutes and regulations and turn them into plain-English summaries — each one linked straight back to the actual source so you're never taking our word for it.
FaLS is an independent educational organization focused on Tennessee firearm law — written for the people who carry, and the people who enforce. We turn dense, fast-changing statutes and regulations into plain-English summaries, built on one belief: the best advocacy is accessible, unbiased information — and a better-educated firearms community is a safer one.

Statutes, regulations, and case law are public. Understanding them shouldn't require a law degree or a retainer.
Every claim traces to a statute, a case, or a regulation — cited plainly enough that you can go check it yourself.
Advocacy through education — turning Tennessee firearm law into something every owner, dealer, and officer can actually read and rely on.
Booklet-format guides — like our Tennessee firearm law handbook — that translate statute and case law into something a non-lawyer can actually carry and use.
We follow recent regulatory and legislative changes and dig into the reasoning behind them — court decisions, legislative intent, and conversations with people working the issue day to day. We report what happened and why, not what should happen.
A growing, freely available collection of guides, statute summaries, and reading lists — a starting point, not a substitute for counsel.
