Anyone know if the aquarium in Chattanooga has metal detectors or wands?

No reason.. just curious

I am a MS citizen. I own a handgun and do not have a license because MS doesn't require one.

Can I carry concealed in TN? I see that TN has reciprocity for license holders, but what about for people who don't have a paper license because their home state doesn't require one?

Hey everyone. I just joined this sub. Wanted to let everyone know I opened a gun range this year in Columbia tn.

(legal question) traveling across state lines

I am leaving for camping in the smoky mountains in a couple weeks and had a question if i can bring my henry 357 lever action across state lines from IL to TN? In IL you need a foid card to have a firearm of which i have , but no CCL. wasn’t sure if you needed one to just have it unloaded in my trunk when traveling , and when actually camping in my tent.

edit: how would be pulled over be also hypothetically because i’ve never been pulled over with a firearm

Can some please recommend me some youtube channels to get gun content/reviews without the creator sounding line an unhinged moron. I'm pretty new to guns and I'd love to get information as straight forward as possible without people going out of their way to "own libs"

I live in the Nashville area.

I have experience with rifles and hunting in my youth. I have experience shooting handguns at the range in the past.

I recently bought a handgun for home defense. I work in education and will not be allowed to carry at work despite recent legislation, though I do intend to carry when not at work.

What training would you recommend to become proficient enough to defend my family, home, others and myself.

If I wanted to give a shotgun to my son as a gift, and be completely legal…

would I need him to accompany me to the store and he complete the background check in addition to me?

Or would I just give him the money and let him go and purchase it?

Or do I need to purchase it, wait some time period and then just give it to him?

Went to the local gs. Wanting to buy a new ar. Was told there was a minimum waiting period of 7 days for those of us under 21. Decides to walk because I bought a firearm not even a full year ago from the same place. Thought the guy was full of it but not sure. Have I missed something?

The laws have changed a lot and I am wondering the age to get a concealed carry permit. I’ve seen sources saying you can get one at 18 now but I’m not sure. I’m 20 years old in TN and from what I understand I can obtain a gun legally through a private sale and carry it openly or concealed for protection. Because it’s allowed under federal and Tennessee law But I would feel a lot safer and more comfortable doing so with my permit. Does anyone know if you can get a permit now at 18-20?

Hey y’all. So with with this new aft “rule” about to become in affect 30 days from it’s April 10 publication, are people now going to sell and trade at their local FFL or get an FFL? Don’t we as Tennesseeans have some kind of protection against unconstitutional federal laws? Unless you’re trading with a buddy or family member the stings are, I’m sure, going to be off the charts with this one. Part of the rule clearly states that “self protection firearms” are not considered to be “collectible” and therefore don’t fall under the protection of “personal collection”. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Thanks RHINOS

Happy to have come across this subreddit.

I I live just outside of Nashville, although it feels more like small town Tennessee here still. Sometimes.

When I first moved here, it took about ten minutes to drive downtown; now it’s more like 25 on a good day.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and that I’m glad to find the community.

Hope all are keeping well.

I'm 18 and I live in an area where there's alor of drug use and I'm a photographer so im notmally walkung around with camera equipment and setting it up and I own a small 22lr revolver and I want to know if I'm able to carry the gun or not open or conceal

I live in Roane County outside City limits. My neighbor is probably within 500 ft of our home.

Neighbor came home and immediately started firing in an unknown direction on his property with what I assume was a handgun. He changed mags twice.

My wife was just walking in the door after work and almost shit herself.

I know we are in the county but we are on a county road and are within 500ft of each other.

In FL, if you take the armed security class, you can use that to satisfy the class requirement for your CWFL instead of taking the regular concealed carry class. Can you do that in TN?

I'm looking into moving to Tennessee and heard that the constitutional carry law is not really a constitutional carry law, and you can still be arrested for carrying without a license. Is this true?

Hey guys, new to TN and this sub. So here's the story: I used to get delayed for purchases every time I purchased a new firearm. This was in AZ and GA. I never really worried about it because in those states you just wait 3 days and can go pick it up. I did end up getting CCWs in both states so I didn't have to wait every time because in those states your CCW allows you to forgo the check. Then I moved to TN. Instead of a delay I got denied.... This came as quite a shock and I filled out the appeal paper at the FFL. I contacted TBI and found out it stemmed from a felony theft charge when I was 15 (22 years ago) in CA. The charge was dismissed but since the disposition is listed as 'no information' TBI has to verify that it didn't escalate to an adult charge. Obv this has been the reason for my delays all these years but because TN decided to be a POC state, it makes it much more annoying. The feds delay you and do the due diligence during the 3 day delay and it's barely an inconvenience. TN denies and waits for an appeal... Anyway, enough of my rant, my question is has anyone had to wait for TBI to get juvenile records from CA? And if so, what time frame am I looking at? Day 10 already and no word yet. I have sent a record request to CA myself as well so I can expedite the prices sin the future.

Thanks in advance

Anyone know the policy of the Knoxville Expo Center on carrying at the Knoxville Gun Show? I don't find anything on the websites.

As the post suggests, looking for recommendations for somewhere to get a pinned and welded muzzle device removed and replaced with something else. I’m in Williamson county. Thanks all in advance !

I'm moving from Colorado and before that was a Wyoming native (yes I know I've been spoiled compared to the Eastern US) for a job near Maryville TN, and I'll be here about a year. I've already been researching gun laws here, but what I'm less certain of is what are some good to go ranges or ranges that I should avoid. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I’m sure this has been asked but I figured I would ask again. I recently legally purchased a handgun from an FFL. I’d like to conceal carry sometimes when I go on jogs/walks at night. Iv been shooting all my life but I don’t have a permit. Is it legal to conceal carry in TN if you’re over 21 with a legal firearm? The internet and laws Iv read say yes, but multiple people keep telling me you can only open carry here permitless? Some clarification would be great.

My grandfather had attempted to gift me A firearm for on-going 5 months. He has tried over 9 different ffls. He left the legally owned gifted off-roster firearm , A copy of DL & Gift letter instructions from CA FFL , CA FFL Contact information with 3 different TN FFL’s. Not 1 FFL Did their part. What gives? 1 claimed they’re waiting on A DOJ # (huh , should be auto when submitted online) 1 did absolutely nothing for 1 month & 1 claimed the firearm isn’t shippable to CA because it’s an off-roster firearm. They’d know A grandparent to grandson transfer is legal if they were familiar with the CA Laws. Are TN FFLS prejudice with California or too scared to deal with California & DOJ? Dead Zero Shooting was the third & final straw SMH

I’m going to gatlinburg soon and have my enhanced conceal carry permit. I’m not from that area of Tennessee and was wondering about how ccw friendly it is. People from where I am have told me to not bring it all together because there’s so many places with signs saying no firearms even with the enhanced permit.

Any long range shooting in that area? 1000 yards I'm in AZ and Mostly shoot at BLM

I understand that under TN law you can legally own and carry a handgun, but if I had one shipped to an FFL dealer for a transfer would I run into any issues? Would the federal law (stating that FFLs are prohibited from transferring to people under 21) apply to an FFL in TN?

Any ranges near Nashville with regular IDPA, USPSA, hit factor, etc matches? Having a tough time navigating Practiscore...

I know the basics of reciprocity between Florida and TN but wanted to know some other guidelines and laws. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am stationed at ft Campbell and have a KY address. Came here to ask if anyone knew if I could purchase guns from TN stores? I don’t know if being military makes a difference in that or not, I know while in Washington to get my CPL and purchase guns I still had to have ID showing proof of residency
