Tennessee’s General Assembly has recently passed and Governor Bill Lee has signed into law HB1909 more popularly known as the Laken Riley Act. This law will allow students on college campuses throughout the state of Tennessee to carry less-lethal self defense products on campus. Included in the list of acceptable devices are aerosol pepper spray, pepper gel, mace, and stun gun type devices. This law was passed in the wake of the death of a Georgia student, Laken Riley, who was attacked, assaulted, and murdered by a violent illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Jose Antonio Ibarra, while jogging on campus at the University of Georgia.
