AFAIK that would be legal in TN.

I thought it did expire. In fact I thought they actually repealled it a few weeks early.

I can't carrry at work and I work 24 hour shifts, so there are days I don't carry, but do when I'm not at work. But it is by no means a screwy question. As I said in another thread, I've had my permit for nearly 16 years, but only started carrying regularly the last 2-3 years. Not really sure why I didn't before, but I didn't. I think some of it had to do with not fully understanding the laws. Back when 39-17-1359 had where a property owner could simply announce their anti carry policy without having to post. But what announce meant was sort of vauge. My boss has a HCP and just got back from a trip to MO and did not carry. I'm really not surprised at Todd's 75% figure.

Trouble is they really shouldn't "expect" anything. I've had my permit for nearly 16 years, but probably only carried regularly for the last 2-3. So even if the registered owner is the one driving the car and he/she has a HCP it still dosen't mean they are armed. So what happens if the officer thinks they are when they aren't? The only real reason an officer should know you have a HCP is after you have told them then it can be ran to see if it is valid. They shouldn't be running people's names just to see if they have one. Of course I know that is not reality.

Reciprocity means each state has a written agreement that specifically states they will honor each others permits. You can see actual copies of the agreements that TN has with other states here. TN now honors ALL facially valid permits from any state. Many other states do as well, with that there is no real need for a written agreement. Many states that do not honor all permits have in recent years stopped requiring reciprocity to honor another states permit. They simply make a list of states whose permit they will honor. A lot of this came about when carry was new and before state laws addressed out of state permits, now most state laws address out of state permits and specific agreements are not needed.

See this thread.

IANAL but IMO I would say your houseboat is a "dwelling" so I feel it would be justified. Here is a thread about carry on the water. Seems like if it navigable waterway has a lot to do with it.

I would say No as well on the bowling alley. On malls, I believe each store is counted as sepreate premises.

Well yes, they do have to have some reason to check your info. They aren't supposed to run the tag of the pretty blonde that came by just because they want to know who it is. But these types of inquires are loosley (if at all) audited and the legitimate reasons are various so not like any would ever really know. Crimimnal histories are really the only thing I remember being really checked by the TBI during an audit. You have to a seperate log book just for those and you have to state the reason in the log.

It's waving now. I made an animated .gif for my avatar once, but it didn't change when I posted it, but I can see others...so not sure what the deal was.

I feel like I just eavesdropped on a phone call or something.

The plural implies to me (and maybe only me) that he meant no OC period in any law, not just restaurant carry.

I believe you're right...but it sort of goes back to the judgment of the LEO at the time thing. But if you are carrying a filleting knife while walking down Broadway in Nashville with no fishing gear and/or none in your vehicle....might be hard to claim you were about to catch and clean some fish.

From the reading the post I wouldn't say a lot, but some. Also....I don't think it is that some may choose to OC at Logans, or Paris Landing State Park or other places that has kept the law the way it is. It is simply because the powers that be don't want us to carry there at all CC or OC. But the original question was changing the law to prevent OC all together, not just at the places that are off limits now.

Ah, Ok, that's a little different. But I bet the majority of legislators in Nashville don't even know OC is legal so doing as you said would probably just call attention to that fact and possibly getting it changed as opposed to help getting restaurant carry passed. So I think conceding to no OC in places like parks, restaurants, etc... just to get carry there would be a slippery slope to no OC at all.

I'm afraid making any concessions on laws already on the books, would only get their foot in the door of making HCPs and carry more restrictive than it is now. Now concessions and compromise on newly introduced bills is a little different. Just as with the restaurant carry bill. The original bill would have allowed carry ANYwhere alcohol is served, even night clubs and bars. So it has gone to the summer study committee in the hopes of a compromise to allow carry in restaurants while still prohibiting it in bars/taverns and the like.

NO! (Simple enough?)

You may could also check with the Provost Marshal. Most bases have a way to check weapons, but may or may not for civilians. Main website http://www.jackson.army.mil/ Contact page http://www.jackson.army.mil/PAO/Contact.htm

T.C.A. 39-17-1301(7) defines a knife as "...any bladed hand instrument that is capable of inflicting serious bodily injury or death by cutting or stabbing a person with the instrument" So it would seem the 4" applies to folded or fixed blades.
