I have been reading up on Tennessee's laws for carrying a handgun. I see that they recognize other state's carry permits. I have not been able to find an answer to my question however.
I'm from Ohio. I do not have a concealed carry permit, however in Ohio anyone can open carry providing that they are 21 years of age and are legally allowed to own a firearm with no need to have any kind of permit. I'm not really concerned with OC in any city or whatnot, mainly just concerned about OC in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My wife and I plan to do quite a bit of hiking there, and call me paranoid, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
So the question being, can i OC in the park without need for a permit since my state does not require one for OC?
