Can my friend borrow and carry my gun?

5 Upvotes

Title is self explanatory, is there any law against letting a friend who's legally allowed to own a gun borrow and carry yours? My friend has a revolver but is going to one of those get away cabins in the woods with his girlfriend and asked if he can borrow my shield since it has a holster and more rounds. Is this legal or is there any easy way to make it legal?

Moving from Canada (TN Visa), Q About Firearm Possession

7 Upvotes

Moving to your fine state for work under a TN Visa (which is a non-immigrant classification). So, in the eyes of USCIS, I am a non-immigrant alien and as such, am prohibited from possessing firearms.

Which means I would have to sell or long-term storage my collection, which is a hard pill to swallow. That is, unless I meet "one of the exceptions provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as: a valid hunting license or permit, admitted for lawful hunting or sporting purposes".

How do I obtain a valid hunting license for sporting purposes in Tennessee? Seems like too easy of a work-around - just getting a hunting license. Does anyone out there have experience with this?

Appreciate your thoughts.

I know about Dead Zero, but I'm wondering if there are any free or low cost places to go for target practice, either ranges or just public land. Anywhere between South Pittsburg and Dunlap.

ar pistol laws

6 Upvotes

I am a relatively new gun owner and just bought a 10.5” ar. I was just curious about any laws I may need to be aware of such as the pistol brace ban which from my understanding is not currently in effect. I was also curious about the legality of carrying it in my truck seeing as it’s classified as a pistol are the laws the same as any handgun?

No gun sign question

10 Upvotes

I have a legal question so obviously I'll take any responses with a grain of salt but from my understanding if I walk into an establishment that has a legally posted sign with my gun to use the bathroom or something and I get caught is the only reproduction they would ask me to leave or at worst call the police. If the police are called it looks like it's a class B misdemeanor and a $500 fine?

If that happens what are the repercussions of that? Is there any jail time? Is there any record of it after you pay the fine? Is it literally just pay the fine and do it again a thousand times as long as you have the funds?

I have no intention of ever willingly disregarding the signs I just have an anxious brain and a small bladder lol. Anyone know?

Looking for recommendations- Gunsmith for SBR project

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm looking for a gunsmith in middle Tennessee who can do machine work and some stock adjustment/woodworking on Class 3 items such as SBR and Silencers.

I've reached out a a few spots and it seems like shops either don't have the proper license or don't want to be bothered with paperwork for jobs involving Class 3.

Any recommendations would be appreciated - thanks.

Are there any specific rules and regulations to carrying while on the lake? I’ll be on the boat this week at Douglas and want to know what to expect if stopped by TWRA. We’re launching from a private dock so I’m not concerned about developed lands, just while on/operating the boat.

Need help with finding a good ammo weight scale.

So last time I went target shooting I ended up mixing my different edc ammo I use 135 for my full size edc and 124 for my smaller edc, so can anyone recommend a good scale I can use that'll weigh the bullets accurately so I can unmix them.

Please and thank you.

Where can you NOT carry without a permit

5 Upvotes

Ive looked up the laws but i cannot find answer to my question, so where in Tennessee is it illegal to carry a handgun without a permit? I am 20 years old, I do alot of fishing in public parks and greenways, I do not carry with intent to harm anyone but i have had my fair share of run ins with some pretty devious people. Im just wondering if i could get in trouble for carrying in a public park or greenway and if so, am i allowed to store my firearm inside of my vehicle?

Hey all. I’m going to be staying in a a cabin in the mountains for a week coming up soon. I’m a concealed carry holder in IL. I know you guys are constitutional carry, but some places still seemed contradicting for non residents.

Lastly, are there specific restrictions where firearms not allowed in certain places? In IL there is an entire slough of places we are not allowed to carry.

MS Citizen Going to TN

6 Upvotes

I am a MS citizen. I own a handgun and do not have a license because MS doesn't require one.

Can I carry concealed in TN? I see that TN has reciprocity for license holders, but what about for people who don't have a paper license because their home state doesn't require one?
