It depends on the state. In most U.S. states, a permit to carry a handgun is a state issued document, so it's good anywhere in the state. In some states (CA and AL that I know of) you go to the local sheriff, and each individual sheriff can set his or her own rules for issuing handgun permits. As I understand it, for instance, in California, in some counties, obtaining a permit is easy, and in some it's practically or literally impossible. Also, in 1 or 2 states, and the District of Columbia, there is no such thing as a handgun carry permit.

Check with a shooting range in your area. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

CAN YOU CARRY YOUR FIREARM IN YOUR VEHICLE IN THE STATE OF TN. WITHOUT A GUN PERMIT?

In Tennessee, individuals are allowed to carry a firearm in their vehicle without a permit, as long as the firearm is not "readily accessible." This generally means that the firearm should be stored in a glove compartment, trunk, or a similar location. However, to carry a firearm in a more accessible manner, such as on one's person or in a center console, a handgun carry permit is required. Always check local laws for any specific regulations or changes.

Repossession law to carry a firearm?

Florida is not a traditional open carry state, so there is no provision permitting you to carry a firearm openly. If you have a concealed carry permit, you may carry a concealed firearm. However, you need the services of a lawyer to work out the finer points of this. In a number of states, if you are carrying a gun to a repossession on private property, you're obligated to inform them that you're carrying, and they have the right to restrict you from carrying a firearm on their property.
