The law states that you are eligiable as long as you have not been CONVICTED of a felony, or other various laws such as stalking, ect. There are also several provisions that will bar a person from obtaing a permit, if you check the Tennessee government web site they are listed. The application does require an applicant to list all arrest, even if the charges were expunged, but I understand the state statute to only prohibit CONVICTED persons from obtaining the permit. A good way to test this would be to apply to purchase a hand gun. If you are approved, you should be eligable to also carry it. Rodney C.

What is the law in Tennessee for carrying a hand gun in your car if you have a cwp?
If you have a valid handgun permit from any U.S. state, you can carry the gun loaded and have it anywhere in the vehicle. If you do not have a valid carry permit, you must abide by federal transport law, which basically says the gun must be unloaded and not accessible. The best choice is unloaded and in the trunk with the ammo in a separate container.

It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules. For instance, in Tennessee, there is no such thing as a weapons permit, it's a handgun carry permit, and applies to handguns only. Other than handguns, basically anyone can carry any legal weapon, but to carry a handgun, you must have the handgun permit. On the other hand, Florida issues a "concealed weapons permit" and it covers any legal weapon.

What is the difference between a personal protection permit and a ccw permit?
It depends on what you mean, but also, what state you are in. I've never heard of a personal protection permit. A CCW permit is a permit to carry a handgun on your person for personal protection, however, it should be noted that all states in the U.S. don't issue CCW. Some states, such as Tennessee, issue "handgun carry permits" and concealment is not required by law.
