Chilhowee Park / Jacob's Building, Knoxville?

[Erik88]

Just an update:

A buddy of mine went to the fishing show at the Jacobs Building on Thursday. He open carried his XD and no one said a word. In fact, he said he went outside to smoke and talked with a Knoxville policeman for a couple minutes and he never said a word.

very cool, this is how it should be.

A single anecdote like this doesn't convince me of much of anything, I'm afraid.

Try same thing at a gun show.

Try same thing walking around Chilhowee when there's NO show, or go to a boxing match there.

Same cop might have different take under different situation. Or maybe he didn't notice. Maybe nobody who cared inside on the trade floor noticed. Maybe if he was dressed nicely, everybody assumed he was a cop. Who knows.

Then again, I don't open carry, so I don't necessarily sweat the gray details about absolutely everywhere I go.

I really need to email city head attorney/DA, will put it on my list.
