This has already been posted but it is a good question. What I do and have done is secure your weapon in my department's armory. When you are able to come get your firearm you sign on the property form saying it is released to you and that's it. If for some reason it makes it to the hospital with you security will typically secure it in a safe for you.

That's great. Occupy a hairnet and a name tag and pay some taxes.

What about on target in Murfreesboro? I have shot my ar15 there before but couldn't hurt to ask if they allow that caliber.

I use only range ammo for the range. Unless we are shooting duty ammo to replace it with new duty ammo. Your self defense or duty ammo should be fine but if it makes you feel more comfortable popping off a few rounds just to put your mind at east that the ammo is good then do it.

I wouldn't do that. A decent caliber round is going to pierce vehicle glass, doors, and whatnot. Look at bonded rounds if your worried about penetration.

Licenses changed almost a year ago. Everything newly issued should be that design. The mostly white license with light blue skyline of batman building and the memphis pyramid.

Is there fear of serious bodily injury or death from a bat and a knife? You better believe it. You are not defending your property but your life. In a perfect world you could safely drive away but you do what you have to do to go home.

Looks good. I really like the new layout scheme. It is kinda hard for me to tell if the topic is highlighted for newer postings but I like that TN State Flag banner.

LEOSA provides for concealed carry only. Regardless of any state laws you may carry concealed as long as you meet the criteria and such.

No ID is required to be on person except for a driver's license while operating a motor vehicle. I seriously doubt H'ville has any city ordinance that requires to be in possession of ID at all times.

Lithium strips from batteries with the other ingredients start a chemical reaction to cook it. It's horrible stuff and extremely volatile. The shake and bake bottles are popping up more and more. The suits we have to wear to dismantle the labs won't protect at all from the explosion lol.

If you don't want them to search say no. If you want to allow them to search then say yes. Why are people getting bent out of shape because some people allow it and some people don't? How long will this thread go on I believe the original question was answered.

So should any officer who allowed an intoxicated person to be taken home by a sober ride be fired? What are they going to fire him for? Was he charged, no he wasn't so there is no evidence other than the tape where he says I've been drinking. Do I agree with 5 days? absolutely not I would have done a lot more and maybe even fired him myself. I believe we as LEO's are to be held to a higher standard but don't assume he or anyone else should lynched up from a tree. There has to be fine line between the off duty and on duty accountability.

Yea, I will have to find it or maybe it changed but I seem to remember if a HCP holder refused to show their HCP they were to be suspended for a certain period of time from the TDOS. I haven't looked at it in awhile since I really don't have or had any problems with permit holders and don't expect to.

More than likely if you were asked to produce a HCP and you were open carrying and you refuse to produce the HCP you would be detained for unlawful possession of a weapon. If during the investigation they determined your HCP was valid and decided not to proceed with a charge then they will contact TDOS and have your HCP suspended. This is just a possibility not a set standard or a recommended way to handle it.

You must present a HCP permit if you are asked for it while carrying a firearm in Tennessee. So if you are just walking down the sidewalk OC and a LEO requests to see your HCP you must supply it. The few people I have actually seen walking around OC in general I didn't even look twice about them. Actually most permit holders produce it during a traffic stop voluntarily when I ask for their driver's license even though they do not have to. Don't worry even I have to show my creds/ID if some officer actually sees my firearm printing from my shirt. It happens it's quick and painless.

I'll check my pile o junk. I should probably have some old glock holsters I don't use. I'll let you know.

If you can do it rapidly and by muscle memory then do it. I don't use IWB or supertucks so I have full grip when I draw. I draw the same as I do in my duty holster except no thumb retention device.

What kind of firearm is it? You may just find someone with an old holster that doesn't need it.

Yep, most guns aren't too bad once you figure the pieces out.

The others answered it but read the laws for yourself. It's your responsibility to know the laws so you don't break them. Check lexisnexis for TN state laws.

It all depends on the location. If 5,000 people from say Illinois answered and only 10 people from Tennessee it's going to be skewed. Guns are a normal part of our society down here. Most of us were shooting guns before we were in school.

39-17-1307 (e) is the TCA code you are looking for. (e) It is an exception to the application of this section that a person authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351 is transporting a rifle or shotgun in or on a privately-owned motor vehicle and the rifle or shotgun does not have ammunition in the chamber. However, the person does not violate this section by inserting ammunition into the chamber if the ammunition is inserted for purposes of justifiable self-defense pursuant to § 39-11-611 or § 39-11-612
