It the handgun permit office, that having a problem with my paperwork. I am a active federal LEO. I know, i am allow to carry under LEOSA. However, i would still would like to have a handgun permit, as a backup. The handgun permit, wont waive the safety course, as my federal law enforcement officer certification is not issued by the TN POST Commission office. I tried to tell them that, but they wont listen. I told them it would be be issued by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in GA. However, i email the POST Commission for clarification and to see if they can issue a letter to tell the handgun permit to go pound sand and issue the handgun permit.

Supposedly, this state does not recognize my federal law enforcement certification, as it was not issued by the POST commission. Yes, i know i can carry without a permit under my creds, but I always been told it also best to get a CCW, just in case. They stated, that my in-service training record is not enough to exempt me from the training requirements. If I had the time, i would have taken this through the appeal process. However, i will attend a enhance handgun permit course, as additional training is always beneficial. has anyone else ran into this problem?
