The problem is that 1311 is ONLY for parks and things like parks (greenways, etc.) Any city code still on the books against carry period is illegal. The ONLY law that is not automatically override by state law is the parks carry law IF it was in place by 1986 (like the city of Knoxville.) Therefore, it's legal to carry in ANY city/county in TN if you have an HCP. Now carrying in local parks is another story.
