Me and my family will be in Tennessee this coming July for vacation and will be staying in Valley Forge. Probably doing some site seeing in Nashville...what are OC laws down that way?

Nascar had one error. CourtHOUSE carry is legal. It is illegal to carry in a courtROOM where court is in session.

Technically, you are correct. However, it's been my practical experience that the entire building (whether rightly so or not) is usually off-limits. This is how it is at the two courthouses I've been to. At the Washington County Courthouse in downtown Johnson City, the etrances are posted with signs that say no firearms allowed, even though the metal detectors are at least 25 feet inside the building, past the clerk counters. At the Sullivan County Courthouse in downtown Kingsport, the metal detectors are within 5 feet of the entrance. So, at least at these two courthouses, carry seems to be banned in the entire building. And, I personally don't want to be the test case for "courtHOUSE" vs. "courtROOM."
