I need some clarification

[Guest Ray Cover]

I will be traveling through your beautiful state on my way to GA in a couple weeks.

I have a CCW permit from my home state of MO and I have looked up the TN gun laws on usacarry.com but I still have a question.

The usacarry.com site says that in an automobile "Firearms must be unloaded and in plain view or secured in commercial gun cases anywhere in the vehicle."

Does that also apply to CCW holders or is that just for general firearms transportation? If you have a conceal carry permit do you really have to unload and either lock up or display your gun while in your car traveling?

Thanks,

Ray

If you have a CCW/HCP, pay no attention to the info you've found. You're more than welcome to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle.

Hi Ray!!

Welcome!

No, you can carry loaded and ready to fire.

But keep in mind, I have a TN Handgun Carry Permit (HCP, our permit doesnt specify concealed, you can carry open or concealed)

I am pretty sure that the laws are the same for you.

Some of the others that are more familiar with the laws will be along shortly...I will see if I can find them......

HEY FALLGUY.....RAY HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU!!!!

Figures that Trip is faster than me

Thanks fellas,

Here in MO open carry is legal without a permit but you must have a CCW to carry concealed. From what I can see most of our laws are very similar I just want to make sure I don't get myself in trouble by not understanding what is and is not allowed.

again thanks,

Ray

Sorry about that. I'll start typing with one arm behind my back.

Everyone is right....unloaded etc...in the car is only if you don't have have a permit.

You must have a permit to OC or CC in TN. Anyone with a valid permit from any state can OC or CC in TN as well.
