Tennessee Magazine Limit: No Current State Cap

Tennessee Code section 39-17-1314 preempts the whole field of regulating firearms, ammunition, and their components, including their use, purchase, transfer, taxation, manufacture, ownership, possession, carrying, sale, acquisition, gift, devise, loan, licensing, registration, storage, and transportation. Local governments may regulate only the listed exceptions: carrying by their own employees and contractors, firearm discharge to the extent state law expressly authorizes it, the location of sport shooting ranges, and enforcement of state firearm law.

There is no federal magazine capacity limit; the 1994 federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004.

Federal baseline verified 2026-10-20. Scope: Detachable magazine round-count restrictions for handguns and long guns. States not listed have no capacity limit.
