Carry more than 1 pistol within the Law with HCP?

[RED333]

I have looked but can not seem to find the answer.

Any help?

You can't be convicted of breaking a law that doesn't exist. There is nothing I saw in the TCA regarding carrying more than one. I always have two in my vehicle when I'm driving.

Don't ask, don't tell. 

[Mike.357]

carry as many as you can safely tote around.  There is no limitation on how many.

[frankmako]

no rules/laws as far as i can see on how many at one time.

[luvmyberetta]

With your HCP you can carry as many as you like. Like others said. There's no limit.

[Guest sL1k]

you could roll like Il Duce.

Well I have been, 2 in my work van.

Thanks guys.

Just says handgun(s), good to go

 

T.C.A. 39-17-1351(n)(1)
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.

Thanks Jeremy, good info.

No problem, second time I've pulled that today actually.

I've heard it said you can never have too many unless you're swimming!

Just makes it harder for an attorney to defend you if needed

 

Prosecution 'Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the defendant was so intend on looking for trouble that he/she had multiple firearms on him/her'  Bogus assertion BUT....

If you are involved in a shoot that gets to that point, you have much bigger problems than whether or not to carry a backup. You also made terrible decisions leading up to that assertion having the opportunity to be made.

I carry 2 guns 95% of the time have considered adding a third, but recent market conditions have made certain guns hard to find.

[gjohnsoniv]

Ever heard of a New York Reload?

3 on your person?  A lot of people who know me think I'm paranoid for 2 on my person...  Care to give us insight on why you're considering three?

Question: "Why are you carrying so many guns, what are you afraid of?"

 

Answer: "Not a damn thing".

Reasoning is 1 primary, second in weakside pocket and one inside of weakside ankle in case i need to draw while sitting or get knocked on ground. Drawing from a belt holster or pocket while sitting is problematic at best.

[vontar]

I ask the same question to the man I took my HCP class from.  He told me as many as you can swim with.
