Ran into one of our local sheriffs deputies last night andhad a friendly chit chat. He turned out to be very pro-2A and not at all concerned with OC. We talked guns and stuff quite a bit.
Anyway, during the course of ourconversation itwas revealed that he didn't know that a HCP was required for OC in TN. I wassurprised that he didn't know this. I corrected him by telling him that of the 27 states where OC was legal without a permit, TN wasn't one of them, unfortunately.
This surprised me because he had told me earlier that he had been a statewide certified LEO for about 6 years before joining the sheriffs department here. Much of his time in LE had been in narc enforement.
Due to reading so many times of others having to educate LEO about OC being legal in other localities I thought this was a funny twist that a LEO would think OC was legal here, without a permit, when it wasn't.
This is in no way intended as a LEO bashing, I just thought it was rather funny. I've always had friendly incounters, so far, with the members of our sheriffs department.
