Tennessee Carry Permits
Les tells you how to get one and some pointers about the law that he learned. I would add that the reason Tennessee pushed for a carry permit and not concealed carry was because, in the past, if you carried concealed and revealed a gun, it was a crime called brandishing. The push (lobbied by the TFA) was not necessarily for open carry but in the event that you’re at the store, reach up for a can of beans, and then your gun is exposed. Then you’re guilty of brandishing and it’s not your fault.

I didn’t realize that was the reason the law was made that way. I need to join TFA. I read about them because of the link on AlphaPatriot’s site. Seems like a good outfit.
