If you own a gun or work for law enforcement, then legislation sparked by a Channel 4 I-Team investigation could impact you.

Harwell is among the lawmakers who are calling for a set procedure to surrender guns when someone is served with an order of protection.
The I-Team's investigation showed even though people served with orders are told by judges to get rid of their guns, no one in Nashville had ever turned one in to law enforcement because there was no procedure to do it.
"It obviously was a flaw in the law," said Harwell, "and we need to correct it."
The bill would require anyone served with an order of protection to turn over their gun either to the local sheriff, law enforcement or a registered gun dealer within 24 hours of when the order was handed down.
