Carrying Long Gun?

[Guest jth_3s]

If you have a carry permit can you legally carry a loaded Long Gun in your Vehicle such as a Rifle or Shotgun? I know it is called a concealed carry permit and a Handgun carry permit but I was just curious since our saftey guy didnt mention it.

its illegal in the state of tennessee to have a loaded long gun in your vehicle. fallguy will probably post the law on it but i know you can have one loaded, even with a permit

Yep...a Handgun Carry Permit is good for Handguns only.

39-17-1351(n)(1) says "Except as provided in subdivision (n)(2), a permit issued pursuant to this section shall be good for four (4) years and shall entitle the permit holder to carry any handgun or handguns that the permit holder legally owns or possesses. The permit holder shall have the permit in the holder's immediate possession at all times when carrying a handgun and shall display the permit on demand of a law enforcement officer."

39-17-1307 prohibits the carry of ANY firearm (among other weapons)

39-17-1308 gives a list of defense to 39-17-1307.

One part says it is ok if the firearm is unloaded, another if you have a HCP, another if you on your property and some others.

So a pistol grip on a shotgun or rifle wouldnt be a loophole lol

[nightrunner]

no a AR pistol would be though

[Guest jth_3s]

Yea I havent ran across anybody oc or cc one of those yet but if I do ill take a pic to post on here lol

[Guest Phantom6]

But I gots to carry my loaded rifle in my truck cuz my spot light is mounted on my truck.

[Guest jth_3s]

To tell the truth that is the reason I was asking lol. We spotlight rabbits out of our nursery and drive along the road alot to get to different places.

[GhstFace38]

You could keep the rifle in your toolbox and the magazine in your console.

Theoretically.

so I can't carry my rifle into Opry Mills even though they are not posted correctly?

Oh you could at least once I'm sure.....

[Guest jth_3s]

You could walk in with an AR pistol hanging off your shoulder lol. wonder what would happen

[nightrunner]

you could keep it as a dedicated truck gun if you wanted

[Guest jth_3s]

Yea if anybody every tried to carjack you they would probably sh*t theirselves when you pulled that out. I think Ill stick to a good old .45 though. Its a little easier to fit under the seat.

[GLOCKMEISTER]

only defense for this is in 39-17-1308

" By a person possessing a rifle or shotgun while engaged in the lawful protection of livestock from predatory animals"

So you need to own a farm and be en route to or from I'd say.

Sure you can. But only if you are seperated from your wife, and are without keys and/or cell phone.

[Guest jth_3s]

They wont let you carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in your vehicle but any pistol is ok. Im gonna buy a full auto pistol for concealed carry.

[nightrunner]

good luck with that.

[Guest jth_3s]

Yea it would be nice but dont really have 10000 dollars or whatever ridiculous price it costs to own one.

[nightrunner]

ive always heard to NEVER use a NFA/Class 3 weapon for self-defense. you then have to convince a jury that you NEEDED a full auto machine gun to protect yourself when others have used a single-action .22 pistol to do the same.

[Guest jth_3s]

Yea good point lol. I would look pretty bad when the guy had 30 holes in him. The jury Might think I got a little carried away
