need pics of proper no carry sign's

Thanks for any info, Rando

Here is what the Attorney General had to say about it. Keep in mind an AG opinion is not law.
His opinion leaves this wide open and up to the responding Officer.
I have never heard of anyone being arrested for this.

Opinion No. 07-43
Posting Notices that Handguns Are Not Permitted in Private Buildings
QUESTIONS
1. In order to prohibit handgun permit holders from carrying their handguns in a nongovernmental building, must the sign contain the exact language set forth in Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1359(a)?

1. No. Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1359(a) requires the posting of a notice which uses language that is “substantially similar” to the language provided in the statute.

OK someone said something about a Hospital or Doctor's office I thought such places were a no go while carrying anyway.

Unless they're properly posted, or in a building that is properly posted, I believe that they're okay.

They have to be posted. The Doctor that I helped had already checked this and that was why he wanted guidance in posting properly.

As 56FordGuy said, only if they post.


The only places off-limits by TN law are....

• Inside any place that serves alcohol for onsite consumption. (39-17-1305) Restaurants legal on 7/14/09 (Public Chapter 339) depending on the lawsuit.
• Any room where a judicial proceeding is taking place. (39-17-1306)
• Schools. (39-17-1309 and 39-17-1310) Exception for picking up or dropping off students.
• Local Parks and recreational property. (39-17-1311) Legal on 9/1/09 unless the local government opts out and post. (Public Chapter 428)
• Any place with a properly posted sign per 39-17-1359

Reference material for some basic questions.

Bar-B-Cutie (Restaurant that DOES NOT serve alcohol) just posted today. It is the Bar-B-Cutie on Donelson Pike. I eat there alot. I have carried there before and I just don't see why this female manager there chose to POST. This is ridiculous. I gave her my article in the Tennessean and explained to her what happened to my husband in a restaurant. Why in the world would she make such a stupid decision? Her entire restaurant is one big "come and kill us" establishment now.

Thats a shame. Well we can mark that one off the list guess she is adopting the ol' cliche "When in Rome, do as the Romans". No more of my $$ for Bar B Cutie (really liked that food too).
