OK I thought I'd start this and everyone else can add to it.
This is a listing of Handgun Safety Courses/Schools in Tennessee. If you have taken a course, please list it here for others to find, who may be looking for a class near them. Posty name of school, location, and contact info. A short review would be great.
I just attended this one on 8/23/08
Hohenwald, Lewis County Tn
High Forest Firearms Training

Class time was held at Housing Authority Building - Range is at the Landfill (Outdoor/shelter nothing fancy but the LE's use it and it serves the purpose)
Cost: $100.00 will need to bring 50 rds for your weapon - They do have a few loaners you can use if you don't have.
They maystart conducting advanced training in the future.
NOTE: The instructors (both LEO's) told us that HPD and LCSD recognize that open carry is legal, However, they did warn us that if they get a MWG call they will take precautions for their safety and the publics and dissarm you until they have checked you permit for validity. Once they have established you are legal and haven't broken any laws they will return your firearm and permit (on the spot) with an apology for any inconvenience (unless you get uncooperative with them). They also advised us, in the event of a traffic stop, to let the officer know you are armed right off the bat and present your HCP along with your DL. They don't like surprises.
