Can you carry a handgun in a state park in Tennessee?

Answer 1

Probably not. Most states do not have reciprocation when it comes to carrying weapons. You could check with the Tennessee Department of State. Include your full name and the number from your Concealed Weapon Permit.

Yes you can. Actually, the opposite is true. Most states DO recognize at least some other states' permits. Tennessee recognizes permits from any state, as do several other states. See the related link for more information.

Answer 2

If you mean carrying a gun on your person, you can carry a gun legally if you have a valid gun permit from any state. Without a permit, it is not legal to carry a gun on your person, unless you are a law enforcement officer.

Answer 3

If you don't have a handgun carry permit, you can have a gun in your vehicle as long as you abide by federal transport law, which basically says the gun must be unloaded, sepearate from the ammo, and inaccessible. If you have a valid gun permit from any state, you can carry a handgun on your person in your car, loaded and accessible.

Answer 4

Only if you have a handgun carry permit. Tennessee does not issue concealed carry permits, only handgun carry permits. Once you get the permit, you can carry concealed or non-concealed. Without a permit, it is illegal to carry a gun in Tennessee on your person, except on your own property.

Answer 5

Yes, it is legal to carry in a TN state park if you have a permit. The TN website says the following:

While State Parks' rules and regulations prohibit firearm possession and use, Public Chapter 428 of 2009 created an exception in state firearms law that allows individuals with a valid "carry permit" under TCA § 39-17-1351 to carry a handgun within the boundaries of all state parks. While this new law makes an exception for possession, it does not make exception to the use of a firearm. Discharging a weapon in non-designated areas of our parks is still an offense. If a permit holder fires a weapon in self-defense, the holder bears the burden of proof to avoid potential charges under "prohibited firearm use."

Answer 6

It is legal as long as you have a valid gun permit and as long as the bank isn't posted with a sign banning handguns.

Answer 7

Yes, as long as the employer doesn't have a no gun policy. At this time, there is no law in TN requiring employers to allow guns on their property.

Answer 8

It depends on the weapon. You can't carry a firearm in TN without a permit at all, but it is legal to carry knives and a few other things that are classified as weaspons.

Answer 9

you can but you're not allowed to.
