Today it was announced that the TENN.Free Open carry failed..Thank goodness..ANYONE who owned a pistol was going to be toting it on their hip, if openly displayed..This failed, the carry permits still are good..Concealed or not,, I am like some members here, I do NOT openly carry my pistols...Sometimes under my vest or coat and then just the pocket carry...I don't like some of the hicks i see here with their pistols hanging where anyone could grab and start firing... The last thing i need is to have a guy pull it, over my driving into a gas station in the position he wanted, and he starts waving it around in a threat..This actually happened in Millington at Kroger gas, a few months ago..I do not always have a firearm with me..or in the car..Maybe that is a mistake?
Toolman,,No longer true here in Tenn...We had to remove all the firearm signs at the gates and go with the new red slashed,Banned Pistol and Knife,symbols at all entry doors...Not a real big deal, except we drive thru some very dangerous areas to get to work, some people here have lost windows due to fired shots, while inroute???Over three inch knife is still illegal, except at Airport, all Knifes are banned..
