I have spent some time analyzing the TN gun laws for my own knowledge and tried to simplify the most common scenarios that many of us may encounter. The following flowchart doesn't include all situations like employees of universities with permits, for example. However, I tried to include what I understood as the laws and how they pertain to those with and without a permit. I am not sure that this is exactly correct and the law seems to be a bit more complicated than I would like, but I attempted to put it in a format that I could more easily consume. I would appreciate any feedback or help in validating what is here. Please do not bank on this being 100% acccurate as laws change and my interpretation may not have been correct in some situations. Hopefully it helps some of us not get into unnecessary trouble. Thanks EDIT: Updated May 27, 2022 TN Gun Carry Law Flowchart-updatedMay272022.pdf

I've known I had to have one of these from the first moment I heard of them. Been looking hard for over year and nobody has had any one in my area. :mad: This morning I called all the LGSs and still no luck. A couple of days ago Chucktshoes that he had seen one at Cypress Creek Outdoors in Dyersburg. So just on a whim I called to see if it was still there. It WAS! With nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon, I jumped in my truck and headed North. I'm now the proud owner of a brand spankin' new Springfield Armory SA-35! BTW: price was MSRP at $699. Not being a fan of heavily checkered grips, I put a nice set of smooth Houge Pau Ferros on it. Looks great! I hope to get it to the range next week. Range report to follow. And here's an updated family portrait. Thanks Chuck! BTW: that's a very nice store. Everything an outdoorsman might need. Very friendly people too. Had a nice chat with the saleslady while I was there. If you're in the area, check it out.

While this is a steep price, it is as close as you can get to a new Marlin 22 cal. lever action. Extremely good condition. I bought it new in Oct 1991 and has less than 500 rounds through it. Included are the box with the packing materials including the vapor sheet, instruction manual, factory scope mount and hammer spur - never mounted. $1200.00 or trade this rifle and the Beretta 92f in my other ad. toward a new series 4 in. Colt Python.

Italian made Beretta 92f. Very good condition, manufactured in 1990, no plastic parts. 2 mec-gar 18 round and 4 Beretta 15 round magazines for a total of 6 mags. Galco combat master holster included. It has aftermarket grips installed and the D hammer spring and newer style retaining pin in place. Double action is very good with this improved factory spring. The original parts and grips are included. $650.00. Located in East Tennessee.

Auction Fever is a terrible disease. Burns any common sense right outta your head.

Kudos to you @FUJIMOfor posting a local news source. As far as the event goes, just damn. When is this #### going to stop?

GREAT DEAL for somebody!

Price changed to $430 FIRM. I have gotten a lot of offers by text that were ok and some that were lowball offers , so I think $430 for this pistol is fair.

If you're in a situation where $50 or $100 either way is gonna make or break your budget, it's time to reevaluate your priorities.

I’ve decided that if you are buying from me, you are coming to me…with cash. I will afford you the same courtesy if you are the seller. I will be there at the agreed upon time unless something beyond my control prevents it, in which case I will notify you immediately. I cannot understand why this is so hard for people to do. It only takes a small bit of respect for your fellow man.

No longer available.

I went to an auction in Santa Fe today. The guns were all in nice condition. I didn't record all the prices but here's what I did write down. USGI Colt M1911 (early frame) but some prior owner had scratched his initials into the right side of the slide! It looked to be done with an electric pencil so probably NOT done during the war by a bored GI in a fox hole. $2500. Actually a pretty decent price for the condition aside from the initials, but that just killed any desire on my part to have it at that price. Inland M1 Carbine $2000 Not a nuts-o price, but STRONG money for sure for an Inland Springfield M1 Garand $2600 << I was stunned. Norinco SKS with detachable mag conversion $825 Ruger 10/22. Plain old wood-stock. $400 Ruger Mini-14 $2000 << say what??!?!?!?!??! Japanese Arisaka Type 38 (I think . . .I don't know these well) $1800 Some kind of Mauser in 7mm (again, not something I know about) $625 The 2 that absolutely blew my mind were: Taurus PT-22 $425 Century Arms Centurion O/U 12 ga $1000 The only one I saw that I think was well-bought was a Colt Huntsman .22. It went for $700. Not a steal, but not overpaid either. I managed to get some .45 ACP ammo at a decent price, but missed out on the .30 Carbine ammo that I need. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Driving up I40 yesterday heading to my kid’s baseball tournament, I spied a quite attractive girl pulled over on the shoulder, digging around in her car’s trunk while wearing shorts that could better be described as a thin belt with her azz cheeks prominently displayed. She was parked conveniently next to a wooded area where one couldn’t see what I expect was a group of thugs ready to take advantage of the first dumb guy who was generous enough to stop and offer help. I told the wife that reminded me of the fake deer game wardens place in fields to attract road hunters. I was surprised to not see the after effects of this display on the news this morning. Sorry guys. I was running 80 in traffic and decided against my better judgement to not get out the phone and snap a pic. Perhaps I’m just cynical anymore, but it sure looked like a trap to me.

Not sure where you were going with the original post, but as far as the direction this post is pointed, all I can say is “Don’t”. Not commenting one way or another about the details, we just don’t talk general politics here. If it is directly related to 2A legislation then we are about that. R vs D vs (?), not wanted.

Yeah, Powell’s gone nationwide. Hard for a local boy to get a deal. But even if it was all local and In person there’s always someone that doesn’t know any limitations...like the guy buying M1 clips.

Oh, I know. I do keep up with the local auction house and got all excited a couple of years ago when they had a bunch of nice S&W revolvers. They were running low so I thought why not. Gave it a shot then they started off into more than than I was willing to bid. Do you have that sweet Model 18 I was trying to get?

I am totally jealous and happy for you!

I don’t know anything about that but the maximum sales tax rate anywhere in the state of TN is 9.75%...7% for the state with up to 2.75% for the locals depending on what rate they set.

Planted a bunch of seedlings today.... sweet peppers, bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, 6 or 8 different types of tomatoes, couple pumpkins, cucumbers, ... plus a couple kinds of beans and peas. I think that's it. Still got hot peppers and brussle sprouts and maybe a couple other things that will go in pots tomorrow.

"The Far Country" I googled Jimmy Stewart, Walter Brennan movies.

Puta hasp and lock on it or chain with lock around it!

Colt SAA and a Winchester 92? Movie, I have no idea.

I worked at the base NCO club in high school (dish washer/fry cook). EVERY single time there was a deployment, we had 4x as many women as usual. All with a tan line on that left finger. #Sad

Nice work. Thanks! I'll need to study it and the law more to fully understand the details.

Well, that's true. Like Glenn Frey said in "Smuggler's Blues," 'It's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appeal.'

It’s smaller than the G19. Subcompact vs compact. Capacity is 10.

Date code is for 94. Last year I believe.

Yea, all she needed was a jump, took all of 2 hours.

If I want to buy a toy, my wife is usually on board with it. If she wants to go to some far flung island for a week with her buddies, I’m good with that too. The other side of that coin is that we share long term financial goals, treat each other with respect, and generally don’t behave like children.

We discuss anything over $400ish before either of us bother someone with a purchase. "Putting your Wife in her place" is worse than stringing someone along IMHO. It also disrespectful and dishonest to use the Wife as a scapegoat.

"...those desiccated chickpeas you call testicles that she keeps in a pouch around her neck might get crushed when you strain that short leash." That's the best thing that I have read in weeks.

When my wife was still with us, she didn't care. As long as the bills got paid, there was food on the table and the kids didn't have to do without, she never said a word if I bought something I wanted. It worked the same for her. I didn't really care much about what she bought because I knew she would be responsible about it. Sadly, in our "woke" world, women have become bullies and men have become wimps. But worse is the man who chickens out and blames his wife. He has no respect for her or himself.

My wife's go to answer when I mention buying another gun is "go ahead". She trusts me not to be too stupid. Of course, my most expensive gun was a gift from her.

One of best ads I ever saw went something like this: Motorcycle for sale, like new, apparently when your wife says "do whatever the eff you want," she doesn't really mean it. I'm approved to buy whatever I want, assuming I have squirreled away the cash to to buy it.

agreed never use C3 for self defense, no need to interject the feds into your life.....ever... I had a encounter with LE years ago, seen 3 guys who looked like LE and the far end of the shooting lane, did a mag dump, 1 guy headed my way, you cant own that, me I'm legal, him no way, me I have papers but you might want to contact your supervisor, him I'm the chief of police, ok try the city attorney or I can google the number for ATF in Nashville and you can speak to a field agent, turned away and left........wasn't even trying to be a di<k either...

Really depends on the gun. My LCP II 380 with a 7rd extended magazine and hogue grip is a heck of a lot easier to handle than the bone stock model, without adding much heft.
