Thank you for your purchase of this download publication. I

believe that anyone who has been issued a Tennessee Handgun

Permit, needs to know and understand the restrictions they face

in Tennessee, and the states that honor the Tennessee Handgun

Permit. This is why this guide is so useful to Tennessee Handgun

Permit Holders. Every day you strap on a gun for self-protection,

you may not use the gun in a self-defense incident but; every day

you are exposed to laws that could affect your ability to carry.

The 1st section of this publication lists states that honor the

Tennessee Handgun Permit. Turn to the page to read their codes

and restrictions. At the top of each page you will see the type of

handgun carry allowed in the state. If you see this note (concealed

carry suggested), that means the state might have some local codes

that are imposed about the wearing of a pistol in the open

(exposed). Because it is very difficult to find the regulations on

this subject for every county or municipality, it is suggested that

you carry your handgun concealed. The next section shows the

laws and restrictions in their state. I have made notes regardingcarry in restaurants or establishments that sell alcohol, because so

many people asked for more information on this subject. At the

bottom of each state page you will see the regulatory agency for

their state. Please contact them directly if you have any questions

or concerns about carrying in their state. I have found that each

state agency responds well to questions, because they want you to

know about carrying in their state.

The 2nd section lists states that do not honor the TN Handgun

Permit. This section will tell you how to transport your handgun

through each state. Some states also have an open carry law, that

information is included.

I hope you find this book informative and beneficial, however

please remember that laws change. You will receive download

up-dates for six (6) months regarding any changes. If you have

questions or concerns about any state, contact the regulatory

agency listed on their state page.

Please send me your comments regarding this download

publication. Let me know if it helps you also, if you would like to

have something else included. Send comments to:

Best regards and stay SAFE,

Gene Kennedy

P.S.-If you find this publication beneficial, tell your friends or rela-

tives who have a Tennessee Handgun Permit about it so they can get

their own publication.

LEGISLATIVE INTENT; FINDINGS.--This act is intended to codify

the long-standing legislative policy of the state that individualcitizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, thatthey have a constitutional right to possess and keep legally ownedfirearms within their motor vehicles for self-defense and otherlawful purposes, and that these rights are not abrogated by virtueof a citizen becoming a customer, employee, or invitee of abusiness entity. It is the finding of the Legislature that a citizen'slawful possession, transportation, and secure keeping of firearmsand ammunition within his or her motor vehicle is essential to the

exercise of the fundamental constitutional right to keep and beararms and the constitutional right of self-defense. The Legislaturefinds that protecting and preserving these rights is essential to theexercise of freedom and individual responsibility. The Legislaturefurther finds that no citizen can or should be required to waive orabrogate his or her right to possess and securely keep firearms

While there is no blanket disallowance for the carryingof firearms into state parks, DWP has a regulation which allows

them to regulate such an activity through the posting of the park.Wildlife areas are a different matter. Since these areas aregenerally allowed to be lawfully hunted upon, the concealed carryof weapons would be allowed while lawfully hunting in and onwildlife areas. See, K.S.A. 21-4201(c)(2).7.) Federal lands: As a general matter, carrying concealedweapons into National Parks, Monuments, and all other lands willbe prohibited. See, 36 C.F.R. 2.4.

appropriate officials in order to determine the legality of possessingweapons at said site.8.)
