T.C.A. § 39-17-1351(r)(1) says...

A facially valid handgun permit, firearms permit, weapons permit or license issued by another state shall be valid in this state according to its terms and shall be treated as if it is a handgun permit issued by this state; provided, however, the provisions of this subsection (r) shall not be construed to authorize the holder of any out-of-state permit or license to carry, in this state, any firearm or weapon other than a handgun. (Emphasis added)



So...if you are to treat and out-of-state permit as one issued by Tennessee....then to me you would obviously have to conform to TN law.


I do hope TN passes the "less than 50% from alcohol" or similar statute someday.

As my sister says (she is a former Assistant District Attorney General), the law is only a good as the officer trying to interpret it.

This makes me very uneasy.



And, 100% legal to open carry and only illegal in a place that sells alcohol by the drink for consumption on the premisis.

My sister had to inform a group of officers one day when they called her office over open carry in a restaurant. No alcohol there either.
