Surrounding States School And College Carry

[300winmag]

It seems to be legal to carry handguns at K-12 schools in the following states that surround TN IF you have a license:

 

Missouri

Mississippi

Alabama

 

It seems to be legal to carry handguns at colleges in the following states that surround TN IF you have a license:

Kentucky

Virginia

Mississippi

Alabama

 

Note that you can still be asked to leave a school or college in those states if you happen to be found with a handgun, but you do not face criminal weapons charges.  Students and faculty members can still be fired too in those surrounding states.  I think if you just remove the criminal penalties in Tennessee for those with handgun carry permits, you would get a lot less resistance to that sort of change VS forcing schools to allow guns on the properties.  I also think that such a bill would be much easier to pass.  What are your thoughts?

You can probably add Georgia to that list for college carry after their recent bill.

Just a note, MS requires an enhanced carry permit to carry at schools, which only MS residents can get. Do not carry to a K-12 or college in MS on an out of state permit.  :up:

The governor's minions who write the official code followed their marching orders and did not change the code as directed by HB 826, so GeorgiaCarry.Org is advising not to carry at schools without explicit permission for now, but they will soon be suing to have the law recognized as passed.

Some people think the Governor is trying to play both sides up until the election, and then will stop trying to manipulate the law that was clearly passed.
