Well I think the key word is "intent". 39-17-1307 also says a club is illegal. A bat could easly be a club, so it could boil down to the subjective opinion of the LEO and/or Judge....are you going to the ball game or are you carrying it around with the intent to be armed?

Can't argue with anything said.....also can't really think of anything to add. I just wanted to be included...

Been discussed before, didnt' seem like a lot of support for it and many thought it would more hurtful than helpful.

Ummm...he said handgun, not long gun. It is legal for the handgun to be loaded with one in the chamber. Just for infomation purposed, here is a list of states from Handgunlaw.us where handgun carry is legal (including what, if any, restrictions on it) in a vehicle without a permit.

Here it is.

Just to be clear that is on a long gun. A handgun can be loaded with one in the pipe if you have a HCP.

Of course the title of thread says the transaction has to do with someone out of state.

I still really feel that "Castle Doctrine" or "Castle Laws" are really bad terms. Just because State A and State B both have what they may call the Castle Doctrine doesn't mean their laws are anywhere near the same on self-defense or defense of property. Also I think the Orginal Question was about TN laws, not the laws across the land.

Ok....this thread has long since drifted from the orginal topic. The last few post seem to be rehashing some of the same old stuff when it comes to these type things. So as to prevent it from going any further....I think it is time to go ahead and close it now.

That was the point of your post, not necessarily to the point as to whether the road is school property or not The only reason I mentioned it is because every so often there are post asking about roads through schools, National Parks and other places that are off-limits. So I was trying to point out that as long as the road is a public road and not owned by the school, National Park, etc.... then the restrictions of the places don't apply. A publicly owned road going through an off-limits place is the same as a main street in the middle of town.

Hmmmm.....could have been it.

How could generations of US Marines be wrong?

If it is a public road, in other words, not a private road owned by the school, then you are not on school property as long as you are on the road or the right-away of the road. I work on a federal instillation, state hwy 104 goes right through the middle of it, as long as you don't go inside the fences on either side of the highway you are not in the arsenal even though it is all you can see in any direction. 39-17-1309 would not apply because as said, you are not on school property.

Let's not get too far from the original topic here.... One way though to look at it is... I'm sure many of us meet very nice and pleasant people every day. I'm sure we also see some very unsavory folks. Many people you see you may not really know how they are unless you interact with them. The above is the same for LEOs, HCP holders, Doctors, Firefighters, Convenience store workers or any other walk of like you want to think of. I personally try to give people the benefit of the doubt and not judge all of any group based on the actions of a few. But that being said, it is not unreasonable to be wary of any group or one person, until you know.

The post I am speaking of were made after the problems were supposed to have been fixed.

Dave, I know of at least two post made this morning, one I got as part my subscription e-mail from a thread, that are not on the board. I am guessing this from possible ongoing software problems.....is that correct? Thanks....

IMO criminal charges should have been filed for drawing his weapon on the teenager for speeding, but if nothing really became of the other, no sense in it I guess. I can't say what I'm really thinking or I'd cause this thread to get locked and myself banned.

Looks good!! Hope it all turns out well for you...

I don't think that is 100% correct. O.C.G.A. § 16-3-24 says you can use deadly force to protect property only if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony. O.C.G.A. § 16-1-3.(6) defines a forcible felony as any felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any person. So it is very close as the same as TN. The main difference on using deadly force in protection of property is: in TN you have to reasonably be in imminent fear of death or serious bodily injury (Self-defense) in GA you only have to reasonably believe the other persons is using or threating the use of force or violence against you. So while it doesn't seem to have quite as high of a standard as TN, in GA you still can't use deadly force just to protect property like in TX. TX Penal code Sections 9.41 & 9.42 Hell in TX you can even use deadly force to protect a third persons property Section 9.43 Remember Joe Horn?

Although I don't think you have to go this far on your own property you can always make a citizens arrest 40-7-109 Of course the amount of force you can use in making the arrest is about the same as protection of property 39-11-1322. However one reason I say you don't have to arrest them is you can confine a person if you can legally use force 39-11-603 So while I'm not saying it hasn't happened to others, if I'm ever arrested or charged for using force (non-deadly of course) for protecting my property....a lawsuit is the next step after the charges are dismissed.

I tend to agree....just a note though....in some states, like Arkansas, it is actually the law to get the consent of the homeowner before entering armed. The funny thing about this to me, (and I'm not talking about any one person), lots of people on here like to say concealed means concealed, but they want to be the first one to tell the LEO, the Preacher or whoever else they are armed and/or get permission.

Welcome

True enough... I had a deputy call me about a gun he found a few years ago....I had bought it from Wal-Mart in the late 80's

Exactly where I got my avatar... and these two t-shirts. ATF Convenience Store tshirt Fred Thompson I'm With Fred Tshirt

When I think of registration, I think of like with your vehicle. Every knew owner must give their information to the government. So when the plate or VIN is checked it comes back to the current owner. So in that respect, guns are not registered in TN.
