My wife and I transferred out concealed carry from Ohio about 2 1/2 years ago. I feel it was a bit too painless. I really don't know the differences in the laws between the two states. "Yea, I know the gun grabbers are reading this too." Anybody got a list of the differences?

From the IDPA rule book................ Contestants may be anyone who can legally bear arms. Juniors, ages 12 years through 20 years, may also compete in IDPA matches when not prohibited by law and when allowed by the hosting club. Additionally, the parent or legal guardian must accompany the junior contestant during the entire match. (State and Local laws vary and may be applicable.................... You've got to try it. Most people won't just jump into something that they've never done before. I think you'll find that the shooters in IDPA are just like those in practical pistol. Very willing to give a hand.

Benton's and Gander Mountain really like their stuff a lot. Midway isn't far behind. I like the gun shows in Knoxville for powder and primers. I get my bullets from Montana gold. I go on line in the evening and they're on my step in three days.

Hey Robert [That's the proper greeting in Tennessee.] You'er going to love it here. We moved here from Cincinnati, Ohio two years ago and I'll never go back. Stuff we've found. Ever gone to a restaurant and have people at the tables around you just start talking to you? People are that way here. Everybody is friendly. This is the bible belt. Everybody is a God loving christian, and proud of it. Food is a bit higher here. When you find specials at the grocery you will take advantage of them. The Smokey Mountains are the best thing that God put here. Plenty of hiking, hunting, fishing, and a lot of other stuff that we couldn't do up North. Be ready to drive a bit more. We live 40 miles South of Knoxville. My wife drives 60 miles to work in Cleveland, Tn and I drive about the same to get to the gun club in Oak Ridge. There are several public ranges here. I belong to Oak Ridge Sportsman's Ass. and love it. http://orsaonline.org/ It's a bit confusing but they refer to each section as a club. Surf their web site. Once you get settled drop me an email rzillick@gmail.com. Love to show you around.

Thank you

I just found this forum while surfing the net for Tennessee legal stuff on concealed carry. I am from Ohio. Have been living here for about two years. Had my CC permit in Ohio for about 3 years before we moved here. I don't carry very often mostly because I don't like to go places that I feel at risk. Some of my particulars are, Member of Oak Ridge Sportsman's Ass. Past practical pistol match director for a large gun club in Ohio {7 years} before we moved here. Am now helping out with the practical pistol matches at ORSA Have taught classes on practical pistol at the club Did target shooting most of my life Reloaded for the last 50 years or so. "Kept me out of the poor house" Married, 2 boys, both grown and gone "TG" My lady is still my best friend after 42 years
