TN Carry Permits
Interest in self-defense has boosted inquiries about handgun carry permits in Knoxville, firearms instructors say, although Virginia Tech wasn’t the main impetus.
“The carjacking really kicked it off,” said Sgt. Mike Lett of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, referring to the January torture and murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. Lett teaches the required course for handgun carry applicants at the sheriff’s training facility.

And this: College campuses won’t be added to a proposal to allow Tennesseans to carry handguns in public parks and recreation areas – at least not yet.

I’ve noticed that that carjacking has been a catalyst for a lot of people.
