Laws vary place to place. In the US, there are over 2,000 Federal and State gun laws. Some states do not have a law that requires a license to carry a concealed firearm. MOST states do not require a license to openly wear a firearm. Depends on where you are. And you did not tell us where you are, so we can't really answer.

Yes you can professional football players get arrested for that all the time.

Indeed if you are found with a gun but without a license you would be arrested. Its easy to be arrested someone i knew was arrested because he had a hammer in his van the police arrested him for carrying an offesive weapon but the thing is he is a builder.

Actually, the answer is, it depends on where you are. In some states in the U.S. you can carry a handgun on your person without a gun permit. As a general rule, when you hear about some professional athelete that gets arrested for that, it's in New York. In the city of New York, you cannot carry a handgun without a permit, and it's virtually impossible for the average person to obtain a permit there.

Will a federal gun license allow you to carry a gun from state to state?

It depends on what you mean. If you mean a federal carry permit, in the U.S. there is no such thing. If you mean a FFL, that is a business license (basically) and has nothing to do with carrying a gun, only selling them.


What happens if you get caught without handgun license?

It depends on what you mean. You don't have to have a license to own a gun in the U.S. except in one or two states. To carry the gun concealed on your person, in most states, you must have a permit, but not in all states. In some states, you must have a permit to carry it unconcealed on your person, but not all. If you get caught carrying a gun without a permit when it is required, it depends on that state's law. For instance, in TN, it can be a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on what you are charged with. You can be charged with carrying an illegal weapon, which can be a misdemeanor, or intent to go armed, which is a felony.

What is the difference between a gun permit and a gun license in tennessee?

It depends. Some, but only a few, states in the U.S. require a license to purchase a gun. A gun permit normally refers to a permit allowing you to carry the gun on your person in public. Some people use the terms interchangeably, but each state calls the gun permit something different. In Tennessee, it is called a "Handgun Carry Permit." In Florida, it is a "Weapons Permit."
