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.

"recreational areas" is a very broad brush. This would include greenways, dog parks, specific parks such as Victor Ashe park here in Knoxville which is a multi-sport park, sometimes used by schools for cross-country or soccer. Public golf courses and on and on. One could imagine the complexity of go/no go, so carry is permitted by state law which trumps local ordinances. In fact, only the State can regulate firearms, exception is the Federal Gov'mt.

The law for carry was specifically designed to avoid those public enities from being able to create a matrix of confusing and contridictary laws. Since I have been teaching the carry courses since 2012, those areas we are discussing are completely legal for carry by permit. To be prohibited they would have to invoke all conditions noted under 39-17-1359 (g)(1). This was implemented to ward off a lawsuit regarding carry at the Knoxville fairgrounds during the fair. Sometimes I have found US Law Shield can be misleading.

StephenB, please check this again......Playground, civic center, or other area owned or operated by municipal, county, or state government for recreational purposes (b)(1)(H)(i) is the exception for permit holders

The most powerful handgun round is the 9mm, no need for anything else...period. It will blow your lung out of the body.....JOE BIDEN said so.

Placing your safe against an outside wall gives more time and fire protection. Bolt it down. Mechanical lock. If size is a problem I prefer two smaller safes to one huge safe; twice the safety from fire, flood, and thiefs. Buy the best quality you can. Prefer the corner bolts.

I'll just wait for a M&P that says 'Made in Tennessee"

Still can’t stay away from my 1.0 Shield with 8 rd mag. But now I have switched to the Desantis Pegasus IWB holster. Versatile for appendix or 4 o’clock. If I get a wild hair will carry 1.0 compact in same brand holster.

Out of stock when I checked today

Doesn't included an option for employees of post-secondary educational institutes with ECP and notification of campus police for allowable carry.

is the LOP adjustable; if so what is the range?

I've had it cleaned and prepared commercially in W TN. Fried up it was really good.
