Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone

[Guest djcullen]

I am new to the site. Was searching for answers about carrying a gun and found this forum.

I am Deanna, I live in Memphis.

I have had a carry permit for 15 years. My most recent purchase is a Springfield XD 45

I was told that the Tennessee Carry Permit is a concealed permit and I can't legally carry unconcealed. I have a hip holster and while I don't necessary want to display that I am carrying, I see no use in throwing the gun in my purse where access would be more difficult. So what is the answer??

I found one document (dated 2005) that says I can carry unconcealed in the state of TN. Is that up to date?

Carry either way in appropriate places watching for signs along the way.

Thank you jackm3.

I thought so but I just wanted to check. I do keep my eyes open for signs and I know I can't carry on MCS property. And didn't the law change earlier this year that you can carry in state parks? I was also told you can't carry where alcohol is sold (i.e. grocery stores). I'm pretty sure you can as long as you aren't buying or drinking.

I think people are shocked that a lady is even carrying to begin with especially with two kids in tow.

You can carry in sate parks and where alcohol is sold you can buy a six pack and take it home just not consume.

As far as the two kids all the more reason...
