New here with a quick (read:stupid) question

[mightymouse]

I've had a permit for about 6 years now, just found this site today(I've been frequenting packing.org for a long time) and thought maybe you guys can tell me I haven't lost my mind.

I was discussing the TN carry permit with a sales rep this afternoon, when he drops this line on me:

"yeah I have a TN carry permit AND a TN CONCEAL permit......"

I questioned it, telling him I'm 99% sure you can conceal with a carry permit and that I've been doing it for years. He then tells me that I've been in the wrong and that if I'd have gotten caught that I would have been in deep trouble. I'm supposed to carry open with my permit?!?!?!

Now I am totally baffled, even a little concerned. I can only find one type of handgun permit for TN, nothing about this special "conceled" permit. Can someone tell me that this guy is an idiot? To give him the benefit of a doubt, he did live in Florida before moving to TN.

Thanks in advance.

He's an idiot.

[jgrauman]

you're friend is absolutely WRONG! you can CC or OC, you're fine, no worries

[Cruel Hand Luke]

There is only ONE permit.

It is CARRY permit.

You can carry open OR concealed.

Hell, you can carry open AND concealed at the same time (one covered up and one not covered) if you choose to.

He doesn't know what he is talking about.

The TN Dept of Safety does not issue a 'Concealed Carry Permit'. If he's got one, it a fake (or, from another state). An easy way to verify whether he was BSing you would have been to ask him to show them to you, since you've never heard of such a thing...

Most likely, the guy is simply an idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about... avoid him. He probably has a CCW badge, too.

You are correct. The TN Handgun Carry Permit is valid for carrying a handgun concealed or openly. There is no requirement that you must practice one method or another.

[Guest bkelm18]

Yep, he's a moron. There's no such thing as a TN Concealed Carry Permit. It's just called the TN Handgun Carry Permit, allowing you to carry open or concealed. If I were you I'd go tell him he's a moron.

[mightymouse]

Trust me, he's no friend, just a sales rep trying to impress.

Thanks guys, I thought something sounded fishy.

I should have realized it when I pulled out mine and he happened to forget his. I don't think that would be something you'd leave at home.

[Guest Hyaloid]

Yup, Eye-Dee-Ten-Tee

[Guest canynracer]

He's an idiot.

+7:rolleyes:

[Guest canynracer]

OH yeah....and dont buy CRAP from him either!!

[Guest looneeetunes]

that tells you he doesnt have a carry permit

"yeah I have a TN carry permit AND a TN CONCEAL permit......"

Trust me, he's no friend, just a sales rep trying to impress.

Well let’s see… He’s a salesman and his lips were moving.

I'd call him out on it. Probably would tell him if he can produce his TN conceal carry permit I would place an order, if not then no order.

Obviously he is bs'ing trying to be impressing.

[Guest Boomhower]

Aw heck, I might as well jump in here too. This guy is a flake.

[The Rabbi]

You guys have no clue.

I also have a concealed carry permit. It is a little-known codicil in the law that allows me to carry full auto and other class 3 weapons. I can also buy them without a background check or $200 transfer fee.

I got mine by sending $45 and my social security card and bank information to Eastside Gun Shop....

Hey, that's were I got mine!

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

Let me guess, he had a liquor license too?

[SkWaShDeM]

Let me guess, he had a liquor license too?

I bet he can also get you a great deal on some slightly used scrap metal between Brooklyn and Manhattan too.

I think that sales rep is the same guy that told me dogs can't look up.
