Hey guys, I just read online that Tennessee allows you to transfer an out of state carry permit within 6 months of moving, but it doesn't seem to outline how I'd go about doing that. It also doesn't mention if it needs to be a current permit or not (my Arizona one expired a few months ago). If anyone has done this, please let me know.

And unrelated, if anyone happens to be a member of the oak ridge sportsman's club and wants to show me around there, that'd be awesome lol.

Hi everyone, I just had my Enhanced Permit approved and I'm looking for some resources or recommendations for further handgun courses to take. I'm looking for things that will cover drawing from concealment, movement, reloading etc. I'm not an excellent marksman by any means, but I've been around firearms for a while so I don't need complete novice courses (how to rack it, etc.).

I've found the Carry for Life series at Frontier Firearms (I'm based in Knoxville) and then there's the Carry Trainer course from May 2-3. Are there any other recommendations? I also am curious what are reasonable prices for some of these courses. Thanks in advance!

I have reached out to some of the local usual suspects. BAM, Royal, Custom Defense.

Either no availability or no response.

Anyone have a go to shop for Cerakote work either solid or multi color patterns?

Need a Micro PCC, accessories, and possibly suppressor done.

TIA.

Hi everyone! My grandfather’s birthday is coming up really quick. I want to get him a used shotgun for around $160 but I can not find any private sellers? What do you guys do?

My good friend is getting married in November, and we are going to go shooting as I am in the UK, Trying guns is impossible.

I am hoping to find a place where i can buy one of those balistic gel targets with fake blood and bone ect.. to try many guns out on, Is this something that is easy to find or are there limited or no places that would offer this service? I will be renting guns on the day, My friend does not own any as of yet.

thanks!

Hey yall, I am an undergraduate student (19yo) going to school out of state, but I am a TN resident. I am on winter break now but I go back to school in one week. I wanted to buy a new shotgun to take with me and keep in my apartment off campus (which is legal where I am). But I was told today that there was about a 10-14 day waiting period for anyone between 18-21yo trying to purchase a new shotgun.

I couldn’t find this rule anywhere online, does anyone have experience with this? And, can anyone think of a legal way for me to get a shotgun within one week to take back with me?

I was looking at a Mav 88, since I just need something less expensive when I’m not home in TN. My dad was thinking of getting me one as a late Christmas gift at this point, but gifting it to me wouldn’t put it in my name..

Thanks to everyone who can help on this.

Our family moved here from Texas a little bit less than a year ago and since my birthday is soon, I was looking into getting into firearms and I figured here would be a good place to ask for some advice. I understand that the legal age to purchase long guns is 18, while the legal age to purchase a handgun from an FFL is 21. However, from what I understand, it is legal for me to purchase a handgun from a private sale and carry it in the state of Tennessee. One concern that I have though, is that it seems that most places that run handgun classes/rentals require the participant to be 21. This is of concern because I would greatly appreciate the guidance from a class and also the ability to test different guns before I purchase them.I understand why the federal law requires CCW holders to be at least 21 because of maturity, etc. however I think it would bring great peace of mind to me to have the tools to defend my loved ones and myself if the worst case scenario arises (whether on camping or at home etc.)

Having this in mind, the three firearms that I have been considering are: Glock 48 (from a private sale possibly?), Mossberg 500, or some AR-15 platform. I am aiming to spend around 1000, including the price of the gun, a decent amount of ammo, accessories/extra magazines, and hopefully training. However, I would be willing to be a little more patient if it is smarter to save up for a bit more.

I hope that I can learn a lot more about firearms and the responsibilities that come with them, and thank you in advance for any advice!

I would really love to get into some longer-range shooting and eventually try my hand at some pistol or rifle matches. I only have around 130 yards at my place that I can shoot. Are there any ranges or clubs you all recommend? I saw ORSA in Oak Ridge and TAC2 in Greeneville (though I don't know if they are still open). This would be the first club I will have joined if joining one. I also try to stay away from sketchy public ranges. Last time I was at one a guy that had no idea what he was doing kept sweeping everyone with his rifle. It would be a plus if the place offers any sort of Rifle/Pistol training (like nonstandard positions, time drills, etc.).

Thank you all!

Santa Claus brought me a Pietta 1858 Remington army black powder revolver in .44 Caliber with an 8" Barrel, and a nice Western Belt/Holster.
I'm considering open carrying it.

Does anyone do this?

If I was convicted of a misd DUI in California in 2013 that did not result in bodily harm, but still remains on my record, will I be able to pass a background check and purchase a pistol in Davidson County, TN? Looking to purchase a Sig P365 Macro...

Back in June of this year, my wife called the police because I was having an emotional breakdown. I was not suicidal, nor was I ever, but I was going through a situational depression primarily triggered by our marital struggles at the time.

Because of a misunderstood text I had sent to my wife the previous night, the police ended up taking me to the hospital, and then eventually I was transferred to a mental health facility. I was released after 3 days, which apparently was much shorter than a usual stay.

I'm assuming this is what is considered a 5150. I also am understanding that I am barred from owning a firearm. I have never been violent or suicidal, and I have never been arrested. My situation has improved and I am no longer depressed.

I know there are options for an appeal or relief of some kind, but I'm not sure where to start.

Any advice?

I’m up for renewal of my permit and got curious about where you’re NOT able to concealed carry, even with a permit. The law is obviously confusing in general. I know hospitals, banks, post offices, and schools are prohibited. Are you legally allowed to safely ignore “gun free” zone signs at say the mall or movie theater?

I am 19 and want to take a rifle to a friend’s property for target practice. I would like to know if it is legal for me to transport a rifle in my car and if there would be any legal implications if I were pulled over.

What places in the Nashville area carry the largest selection of pre owned handguns?

Hey guys, I’m back again with some more questions.

I moved here recently and just established residency. I am 18 years old and looking to start concealed carrying. I live in the major Knoxville area. I would need to obtain a pistol, I’m looking at an S&W M&P 2.0. How do I obtain a pistol legally? How do I carry it legally? I know I can’t buy it. Do I need a permit or am I covered under constitutional carry? Thanks in advance!

Next month, I will be taking my family to Gatlinburg for a week. My question is can I take my pistol with me legally and if so, is there a way I should travel with it? I do not have my concealed carry permit.

Hey everyone! New to the group. I’ve been in Middle TN for about 4 years. I’m in the Murfreesboro area and I’m just looking for some range buddies to go shooting with. I haven’t made a lot of firearm friends out here yet. I’m 27, a new dad and love plinking!

So, I bought one from a pawn shop on Saturday. Come to find out. It don't work. All of the 2nd opinions says it's possibly the clip.

The issue, the bullets don't chamber right nor does the shell casing get ejected.

I'm currently looking to buy a newer clip for it and I hope it fixes the issue. But, my issue is, if a new clip doesn't fix the issue, that's $211 down the drain. All gun sales are final and the pawn shop i purchased it from won't even entertain the idea of an exchange.

So, what should I do with the $211 paper weight? If a new clip doesn't solve the issue.
Sell it? Break it down and scatter the pieces? Make my boyfriend pay me the amount of the gun? It's was like $169.

Hey all! I just found this group. I’ve lived in middle TN for about 4 years. I’ve had some nice times at a lot of different ranges but I’m looking to get into long range shooting. Are there any recommendations for where to go for 100+ yard ranges?

My 19 brother went into Rural King to look at buying an ar 15. They told him he couldn't because he had to be 21 to buy one with a pistol grip. I was unaware of there any age laws on ar15s regarding pistol grips specifically. Can anyone confirm this?

Any idea what brand they carry? I assume they carry Glock 9mms but wondered about ammo brand

Anyone know if there's a ammo store "near" Nashville that sells HST 124 grain in 50 round boxes. I find the 20 round boxes for $33 at academy but wondering if there's a spot to buy "in bulk". Or best ammo deals in general as all I know is to go to Academy

Is there any local hunting pages? Looking for more public land ideas for small game near knoxville

We are permitless carry in regard to conceal carry and open carry, but permits are available and necessary for reciprocity when carrying into other states. This is accurate right? I’m asking because I recently heard an asst. district attorney explain that open carry doesn’t require a permit, but concealed carry does require a permit.

Im moving to TN in the next month or so and had some questions. Please correct me if im wrong, TN has permitless carry of handguns and long guns can be in the vehicle if you obtain an Enhanced carry permit. Open carry of long guns is illegal in most circumstances, as would be concealed carry of them. My question comes down to the TN definition of handgun. Braced pistols are designed to be fired one handed and can have barrels less than 12". From what I could find thats all they consider to classify as a handgun. Would that be able to be bag carried? I.e. collapsible or folding braced .300blk or some other caliber? Followup question, who do you most recommend for ccw insurance/legal coverage? I apologize if these are stupid questions, any responses are appreciated. Thanks!
