So im moving.. got a question..2 actually!

[Guest Fwdftw]

So i have a TN Carry Permit.. and im moving to hernando MS is this something i have to change over ASAP? or something i do when it expires? ALSO Im gonna be buying another ar15 lower soon and going through the SBR process should i just wait till i move? Thanks fellas!

Wait til you move for the SBR I'd say because of the forms and address stuff. Just be easier. As for the permit I believe you have 6 months to change it over. The process in Mississippi is really simple.

T.C.A. 39-17-1357 says you are supposed to notify the Dept of Safety within 60 days of an address change.

Since you would then be a resident of MS, but already have a TN permit I'm not 100% sure how 39-17-1351®(3)©(i) would apply. It says...

If a person who is a resident of and handgun permit holder in another state is employed in this state on a regular basis and desires to carry a handgun in this state, the person shall have six (6) months from the last day of the sixth month of regular employment in this state to obtain a Tennessee handgun carry permit. The permit may be issued based on the person having a permit from another state provided the other state has substantially similar permit eligibility requirements as this state. However, if during the six-month period the person applies for a handgun permit in this state and the application is denied, the person shall not be allowed to carry a handgun in this state based upon the other state's permit.

Other than the above situation, TN does not issue Non-Resident permits. In all honesty, now that TN honors all other states permits, I'm not sure why this is still even in the code. It may get cleaned up at some point. Of course who knows, TN may start issuing Non-Resident permits for revenue....

This may be something you want to ask the Handgun Permit office in Nashville about. Handgun Carry Permits

Why would you not just get a MS permit?

As far as the lower, I agree I would probably wait till after the move.

Sorry bud. You're gonna have to if you take up permanent residence there.

it may be worth a call to the ms dps to find out what it costs to transfer your permit over, there is a number at the bottom of the link I have attached..

You should be able to transfer your permit over for $50.00

LOL...well I understand, but there are cost associated with moving (I hate moving!!) and this may be one of them.

But if you are moving to MS and going to be a MS resident I imagine you will have to get a MS permit.

From looking at the MS state website it looks like all having the TN permit now will help you on is the not having to wait 12 months after establishing residency before you can get a permit. {MS Code 49-9-101(2)(a)} Firearms Permit Unit - > § 45-9-101. License to carry concealed pistol or revolver.

It also looks like the total cost will be $132.

Sorry.

Maybe....

I don't see anything in MS Code or on the website...but there is nothing in TN code about transferring from another state I don't think and the DOS only posted their requirements for transferring from different states recently...
