I wonder if that applies to all the gangs and thugs that live there.

When we travel out west or haul horses out that way and have to cut through parts of Illinois, we always fuel up before we get in the state so we don't need to buy anything in there and pay taxes to those liberal idiots.

Reasons to get Tennessee's Enhanced Carry Permit.

01.  Some states will not recognize Constitutional Carry.  Those that don't require you to have a carry permit issued by your home state.

02.  With Constitutional Carry if you are forced to use that firearm, a good lawyer will crucify you in court if you can prove your qualified to carry.

03.  Training is very important to carry a firearm and practice is just as important.  Just getting 8 hours of classroom and an hour on the range is not enough.  You need to practice regularly.

I moved to Tennessee from Iowa and to Iowa from Illinois in 2008.  I spent 26 years in the military and for about 15 of those years I was a Range Coach and an RSO and helped train over 500 personel on handguns, M-16's and shotguns.   I was lucky enough to be in a Battalion that thought handgun training was important because MOST people in the US Military DO NOT GET ENOUGH TRAINING WITH HANDGUNS, unless they are Masters at Arms,  MP's Ect.

I took the NRA Instructor Class's in Basic Pistol, Basic Rifle, Basic Shotgun, PPITH and PPOTH and also Chief Range Safety Officer.  I taught both Illinois and Iowa CC class's.   Iowa's was an 8 hr class. Illinois Requires 16 Hrs to get a Concealed Only Permit and Illinois doesn't recognize any other states permits that I know of.  Moving out of Illinois was the smartest thing I ever did.

In my years involved in instructing I formed an opinion that too much training is never really too much.

One of the reasons is reciprocity with other states.  13 states do not recognize the TN permit.  Another reason is the TN ECP does a decent job in the applicable laws and emphasis on safety.  One cannot carry a handgun in any Park in TN without a valid permit.  Training does not have an endpoint.
