Question on Non Resident Permits

[Erik88]

There is a chance(god willing) that I may be moving back to TN. Since I can easily convert my FL permit to a non-resident permit, and TN honors non-resident permits then I'm assuming I should be fine to carry even after I become a TN resident?

 

If memory serves, I think this is what Kwik did but I'm not positive.

 

I'm sure I'll eventually get my TN permit too but if I'm right, I won't have to be in a hurry to do so.

I believe you have 6 months after establishing residency to get your TN HCP (back).  Hope you make it home.

For 6 months.

Hey, that's pretty generous. I'll take it. At least I can carry during that time while I wait for the TN permit. Plus, with the new vehicle carry law I'm covered in the vehicle regardless. 

 

My TN HCP expired in January and it's been invalid for 3 years. I kept it anyways.

Pretty clear cut.

Yes, Kwick did obtain an out of state permit. But he is a TN resident and his carry privileges have been revoked by the state. He could carry in his car now, providing the rules of his bond don’t keep him from having guns. (Unless his case has been settled).

QUESTION 

 

 May a Tennessee resident who does not have a Tennessee handgun carry 

permit under Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1351 and who has no other commission or 

permit issued by the State of Tennessee or a local government in Tennessee rely on a 

handgun or weapons permit issued by another state as authorization to carry a 

handgun in Tennessee? 

 

OPINION 

 

A Tennessee resident may rely on an out-of-state permit only for six months 

after establishing residency in Tennessee. After that time, a resident must have a 

handgun permit issued by the State of Tennessee.
