We always say this, and indeed it is logical, but it's not specified in TN law, and I'd say it's not directly addressed in many, maybe most states.
TN simply says you can have a loaded firearm at your "place of residence".
We presume that would include hotel room, tent, motor home, etc, but like so much, it's gray, and we're really only speculating, unless someone has access to some case law to support it.
Is it legal to have in your motor home all the time, without a permit?
Or only when you're parked and using it as your residence?
If I'm homeless, can I carry an unloaded gun around, but load it when I bed down in a cardboard box?
Does my pitched tent count as a residence anywhere I put it, or only in an actual area designated for camping.
Does it override other considerations, like camping in TVA property?
Etc.
