idodishez Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Going to Deals Gap this weekend. About 2 weeks away from my appt w local sherriff to get my ccw permit, so I dont have it yet. Doing a brief google, it looks as if TN requires a permit. Anyone know for sure if I'm allowed to carry or even transport in TN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 You can transport to and from TN but you can not carry without a CHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 If its concealed then noone will ever know you have it, therefore you can carry wherever you want to because noone will ever know. Some people worry and over think things way to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 If you don't have your permit yet, you can't carry in Ohio, never mind TN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 He can open carry in Ohio right or wrong fill me inHe can open carry in Ohio. I don't believe he can open carry in TN.It is not a good idea to open carry. Not trying to start a debate on what it right or wrong, just that open carrying will most likely result in frequent police contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 It sounds like he has made it through his entire life without carrying. Is it really a big deal to not carry in TN for the couple of days you are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Not true at all. It shouldn't be true but unfortunately it is still true in a lot of towns in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 It shouldn't be true but unfortunately it is still true in a lot of towns in Ohio.Yeah that may be, but a blanket statement like that just scares people. All my encounters with police and civilians while open carrying have all been pleasant. Most of the other people I know that OC have the same experiences.

chevysoldier Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oh, and btw, that is exactly why every police and sheriff station in Ohio is getting open carry memos, case laws and the such so they understand OC is legal and not grounds for a terry stop. /thread jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idodishez Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have had a ccw before, but it's from Indiana, and since expired. Yes, I'd be just fine w/o carrying this weekend. But just got my Taurus back from repair, and figured there might be a chance we go shooting in TN. So I wanted to take it w me, legally. Yeah it wouldHave been great to find out you can conceal in TN w now permit. Was worth a shot:) It's tucked away in my backpack, in the trunk, unloaded.

Scruit Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah that may be, but a blanket statement like that just scares people. All my encounters with police and civilians while open carrying have all been pleasant. Most of the other people I know that OC have the same experiences.Blanket statement like what? I said "frequent" polcie encounters, not bad ones. Too many people posting up on OFCC about being stopped by the police because they got called abot a "man with gun". Ever hear of Daniel Sayers?http://www.ohioccw.org/daniel-sayers-oregon-ohio-open-carry-encounter.htmlYou may pass 100 people who are cool with it, but it only takes one uneducated person to bring the police in. Hopefully the police figure out you're legal in a few seconds, but some police had a policy of charging open carry as a public order offense like "inciting fear" or "distrubing the peace".Like I said, don't want to start a debate about it beign right or wrong. OC is legal and harring OC'ers is just wrong. But, in the real world, not everyone who sees you OC is going to get a warm fuzzy feeling about it.

speedytriple Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I would not even try to open carry here in cleveland. To the OP just check any states you will be driving through to see what there transporting laws are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
