Unless changes are made to the permit itself, this will not affect reciprocity with other states. Constitutional carry doesn’t affect what happens when you’re in another state. A constitutional carry statue will only address the need for a permit when you were in the state of Tennessee. Your permit and the other states willingness to accept that permit is where reciprocity lies.

She was the deputy DA under and protege of Bill Gibbons. You might want to take that into account before you start taking guesses. Y’all need to stop letting that R next to somebody’s name fool you into believing that they are a freedom loving believer in individual rights. It ain’t the case most of the time. For the most part it doesn’t matter what letter is next to somebody’s name. Those folks in Memphis, Nashville, and Washington DC believe that they know better than you do how to run your life. Amy Weirich is a Republican, but that doesn’t mean she believes in or supports your individual rights. At least not without a government permission slip.

That’s not her schtick at all. She’s actually a pretty hard nosed prosecutor that a lot of you law & order folks would like on any other day. But what she really is more than that, is a hard line statist. She has way more faith in government bureaucrats like herself running people’s lives than respecting their liberty to run their own lives as they see fit.

I received an email from the NRA – ILA claiming credit in leading the way for this bill. For some reason I have strong doubts to the veracity of that claim. There’s is a reason why I am a member of the TFA and not the NRA. If this bill is a good one, I will be putting in personal appearances at the offices of my state legislators. Considering I’m only home for a few days a month at maximum, that is a serious commitment of time for me and sacrifice by my family. I will also be contacting my county sheriff to encourage him to vocally support this measure. I already have a lifetime permit so this will affect me in no way. That said, if this bill is a good one, it will be a huge step to finally get the state of Tennessee to recognize the citizens’ individual right of self-defense. If I want the government to recognize my rights without voting from the rooftops, then my slacktivism must end now. Alternately cheering and bitching on the internet doesn’t seem to do a whole lot. It’s time for me to put some legwork into it.

I believe it’s in reference to LEO/feds that live in state and wish to acquire a state carry permit. It doesn’t prevent them from carrying on creds, just doesn’t give them a head start for a state permit. I know TN exempts them from having to go through the hoops. NC doesn’t.

My lifetime permit is a definite anchor for keeping me in state.

TN doesn’t determine whether or not NC will accept the permit for transfer, NC does. The issuing authority in NC is the county sheriff of residence therefore the sheriff you spoke to is the final authority on the matter.

It the early mode. It hasn’t been upgraded to its final form yet.

That’s a magazine pull.

They use the best wood. You’re gonna love that rifle. I know I love my Montana.

I bet I know what you’re doing for Halloween this year.

Yeah, I’m seriously jelly.

They damn sure wouldn’t get them for that price from KAC!

The fact that they built it for this price using off the shelf parts is truly impressive. The gun is cool, but I think it’s the real story here.

I can vouch for the work they do. John and the crew are top notch. I’ve used them before, and will use them again.

This. It’s nice having guys who’ve been around since the early days.

MSRP is $1799 so maybe around $1400+/-street I’m thinking. My Montana had an MSRP in that area and I picked it up for $1200, so who knows. Either way I expect 6.5Cr to be a big seller for it. I do have to say that being 3lbs lighter than my other bolt guns and having that folding stock would make it much easier to take on a long back country hunt.

FTFY since we don’t have registration of firearms in this state.

I’m sorry (not really sorry) but the irresponsible actions of one, do not excuse, nor are they equivalent to, the malicious actions of another. Is it irresponsible to leave a firearm in an unlocked vehicle? No doubt. But in no way is it acceptable to criminalize a victim of a crime because they didn’t “take sufficient measures” to prevent the criminal actions of others. It’s just damn ridiculous to view making the victim of a crime a criminal as an acceptable solution to the problem of criminal behavior from folks acting with true criminal intent.

Manners are such a huge emphasis in our household. Nothing gets me into my children's asses faster in public than rude behavior and lack of manners. Il-mannered people in general drive me up the ####ing wall. HUGE pet peeve of mine.

Before opening your mouth, always ask yourself these three questions. 1) Does this need to be said? 2)Does this need to be said right now? 3) Does this need to be said right now, by me?

Get a couple of rolls and make it hail.

On my iPhone, they load quickly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spray tan!
