New Resident: Permitless Carry or ECP?


Recommended Posts

Hello all! I recently moved to TN and have some questions regarding carry. I currently have a valid AZ non-resident permit and a recently expired CA permit.

1) Should I just wait a couple months for constitutional carry to kick in, or are there reasons to get an enhanced permit that I don't know about?

2) Would my prior training course (provided by the sherriff's department) for my CA permit count for a TN enhanced permit or do I need to attend another class?

 

Thanks in advance!

Permitless carry has some limitations that enhanced HCP doesn't have.

Enhanced HCP has reciprocity with many other states in case you travel.

Don't think your prior training other than military will count.

Welcome to the Best State (that isn't Wyoming)!

If you can do the ECP, do it. The benefits definitely outweigh the restrictions of permitless carry. As a Non Immigrant Alien (with 12 years tenure....) I'm limited to permitless & while the restrictions for most folks aren't THAT big of a deal, the interstate reciprocity & park carry alone are worth the little hoop jumps. I can, as of July 1st, strap up in state (which for me is a huge deal) but the minute I hit the KY, GA, AL, AR, MS or NC state lines, I have to revert to ammo in the trunk, gun in a lock box. A TN permit would prevent this & it'd be absolutely worth doing. Were I you.
