Knoxville city leaders reached an agreement with Pandora Vreeland, who sued the city after officials declined to allow guns at Chilhowee Park, host to the annual Tennessee Valley Fair, reports WBIR. At issue is the state law allowing those with handgun permits to carry guns in parks. Officials claim the law does not apply to Chilhowee, which they said is an exhibition center. The agreement states that permit holders many bring guns to Chilhowee’s outdoor facilities as long as there is not an ongoing event that includes an admission charge.
