Correct me if I'm wrong but a lot of states will not grant reciprocity.... big plus having that. Be damned if I can find a link mentioning it.

A lot?? I don’t think so. That was brought up a lot, but I haven’t yet see it happen; although it could. If people want to travel they need to go to the class, and get the HCP.

The only changes I’ve remember seeing posted here where when some state (or maybe two?) changed their reciprocity with Tennessee when our HCP allowed under 21 to carry.

Thats my point. But here:

Based on our preliminary review of the new statute and ongoing discussions with the Department of Safety, here’s our summary of the main differences between the two permits:

• Enhanced permit holders can carry either open or concealed; Concealed permit holders must always cover up the gun.
• Concealed permit is easier to obtain (less training required, online training allowed, lower application fee).
• There’s no lifetime permit with the Concealed option (lifetime permits are Enhanced only).
• Public college employees with Enhanced permits can carry in parks with students present, unless there’s an athletic event. Concealed permit holders cannot carry anywhere near school-related events.
• Reciprocity agreements with other states might be disrupted with the Concealed permit, though we don’t know for sure yet. Reciprocity for Enhanced permits is expected to stay the same.

For more details, resources, links, and contact information, please continue reading below, see the information posted on the TN Department of Safety’s website, or email the Department of Safety’s Handgun Office or call (615) 251-8590.

Yes, that was pretty clear when all of this started. What hasn’t changed is that you have to look at each states laws, if they have a reciprocity agreement with Tennessee (They are listed on Tennessee web site), or their specific state laws.

Let me give an example.  I do most of my shooting on family land in Illinois. Prior to Illinois enacting their carry permits; I could not have a loaded gun in my vehicle. Now, even though they don’t have a reciprocity agreement with Tennessee, and I can’t carry; I can have a loaded gun in my vehicle in Illinois.

They don’t address individual states, or types of permits. Their law is simply if you have a carry permit on your person, that allows you to carry in public in your home state (no states are listed); you can have a gun in your vehicle in Illinois. Once you exit that vehicle; it no longer applies. But both the HCP and the CCP meet that requirement.

There may be states that differentiate their reciprocity agreement with Tennessee based on the type of permit, or they may specifically state HCP. Then you would need clarification from that state.

I wouldn’t give up anything that allows more Tennessee residents to carry. I don’t care what another state does… I can’t.

I agree. But people need to be very aware. There are so many LE, especially in other states that may not know or even care.
Best thing I do is use the USCCA Ap when I travel and activate notifications when I cross lines with my gun. Pretty handy. It uses your Phone gps. Also gives you all the states agreements and such. No need to make mistakes these days. Have to stay on your toes.

Absolutely! Crossing a state line is a big deal. And I want to read the state law on that states web site. I don’t want someone else interpreting it for me.
