Traveling through TN

imported post

Hey all,

I'll be heading to Tx with the family next week and was wondering if anyone can clarify the handgun carry laws for travelers through your state? Any input is appreciated!

Do you have a permit recognized by TN?

Should have made that clear... No, I do not have a permit for any state.

There is no unlicensed carry in TN at all. To transport, the firearm must be unloaded and out of reach with the ammo separate from the firearm and all magazines must be unloaded.

That sucks! Might look for a different route. Thank you for the information.

Why Not get your carry permit and let it go at that. Then you have and reason for your argument of cross state carry while traveling. I feel that all states should come up to the classes that TN. requires for HCP. It would simplify cross state travel. I'm sure there a a few states with stricter lic.ing classes. I want anyone carrying to know how to use what they carry. I had a carry permit in Washington state and all you had to do at that time was pay your fee and wait for the FBI check (about 30 days). Not testing then at all. Don't know what today's requirements are. Don't care, Don't live in Washington, Live in TN for the past 15 years. javascript:emoticon(':celebrate', 'images/emoticons/banana.gif')
