Good question
This is simply a bad idea and would put TN HCP holders at a disadvantage in other states. My TN HCP allows me to carry is most other states, without it I could not legally carry outside of TN.
IIRC, Vermont has a permit if you want it for just such a reason. Or you could get an out of state permit.

If TFA pushed this, it would be Vermont style. We’d still have a permit for those that want to be able to carry in other states that have reciprocity with TN. It wouldn’t make sense to do otherwise.

You just wouldn’t have to pony up a lot of money and seek “permission” to be able to exert what I consider a right.

I see something like AZ style, where you if you have a permit you can carry in restaurants.

Yea, AZ didn’t do away with CCW permits. They’re just not required to carry concealed unless you want to carry in a restaurant that carries alcohol or you want to carry concealed in a reciprocating state.

+1 to what Blake said….. Its worth it just to get away from the “poll tax” that is placed on a 2nd Amendment right

I think it’s Alaska that has the permit so you can carry in other states.

Alaska & Arizona, still have a permitt process for those that wish to carry, Unless something changed recently Vermont does not

Yup. What The Duck said.

There’s nothing prevent people from getting Utah or Florida non-resident permits.

Why not just keep the permit system for those who want them? Hell, if you call the HCP office, they constantly complain about being flooded…

Removing government regulation/interference is NEVER a bad thing.

In Arizona (and most other places) the CCW also allows you to circumvent the “insta-check” BS. Most of the folks I know here with a CCW intend to keep it up, mostly for that and the ability to carry out of state.

Alaska Carry for the win!

If people want a permit for reciprocity get a FL or Utah permit. They are cheaper and last longer.
