Let’s see; grocery store, mall, school teacher, fast food restaurant…

good reason to carry

Has to be a shred of validity...I see none. Doubt any lawyer would be stupid enough to invest any time/resources in a frivilous suit. In fact, in TN, costs can be subject to reimbursement in such a situation.

For what?

sign has nothing to do with employee/company policy. If one has to utilize a firearm, a sign violation would be the least of his worries legally. Still open to company repercussions.

Following update from Dave Spaulding/Handgun Combatives......Mr. Dickens fired his 1st shot at a distance of 43 yds from a kneeling position from cover and the active shooter was hit and also hit by 2nd shot. Dropped immediately. Never expected to meet resistance. Did not point or fire towards Dickens. Follow-up shots continued because of continued movement. Federal headstamps on pistol rounds.

coat all metal parts with either WD professional spray, or Hornady Clean and Lube....both offer outstanding protection. Then slide into individual silicone cloth gun sleeves. As others have said golden rod is a must in that area.

Yeah, but the guv’mt is still $100 ahead and you’re 16 yrs behind. But if that makes you catch more fish….we’ll I’ve spent more for less important stuff

to each his own, but the logic of pre paying the government seems to be contradictory. My luck, I pay for 'lifetime' and then fall over dead the next month.

if renewal every 8 years online is what some of you consider a hassle, I need some help with my day to day life

In one ear and out my rear….

If you have the former Handgun Carry Permit, HCP, now known as the Enhanced Carry Permit, ECP, you have up to 8 years to renew before you would need to take the class over. You have some restrictions on where you can carry until you receive your new permit. www.tn.gov/safety/tnhp/handgun/handgunonline.html

They will let you know if you need to worry.....otherwise, don't.

About 7 conditions have to be met to legally carry in most states to include TN. If the state is going to endorse one to carry, they want to be sure you are legally cleared to do so I guess. I would still make it clear one cannot legally carry in parks etc without a permit.

Because some want a permit. To keep your CCP you have to renew. No permit, no carry in the places I mentioned. I might be a little slow. If this didn't answer your question, please restate.

Must have a TN permit to carry in national park, greenways and other public recreational areas owned by state, city or county.

The way I read this bill, it only applies to the CHP. Therefore the ECP which would include lifetime are not affected by this bill. There is already a fee for renewal of the ECP every 8 yrs.

Boxes 1 vs 5&6 still have direct conflicts.

True Blue may solve your issue

Is “smokeless BLACK powder” correct? details matter

Yes

Your 1st box seems to be inclusive of those areas, so the addition of the school clause would be proper. Also possibly combining boxes 5&6 and eliminating the drop down of 5 may be proper as well.

Yes I believe you are correct. Believe it was HB 2554….very fe places one could not carry with ECP.

I agree with you...the sign should not have the force of law. But, AFAIK, there has not been anyone charged/convicted of this. If anyone knows differently please share.

It lies between Oak Ridge Hwy and Pleasant Ridge Rd....close to NorthWest Middle School. Yes, if one becomes aware of a school event, one must then store the weapon in the car (locked of course) or leave. If you want, the Handgun Division in Nashville can be very helpful with questions. Or, there is regional rep from the division that can be reached. Just ask any school for their number in your area. BTW, I do enjoy these discussions and hopefully give some clarification especially here on TGO. And yes, sometimes not all of the instructors agree....that's where Nashville comes in.
