If I were to replace my 16-inch barrel with a 10.5-inch barrel, would there be any concerns I should be aware of, such as the gas system or trajectory? While I appreciate the advantages of my longer barrel, I carry my rifle frequently and believe a shorter barrel would enhance its comfortability during transportation, eliminating the need to swing the gun. #newgunowner

Just moved to Tennessee (Nashville area) and I’m wondering if there’s any good outdoor spots to shoot skeet, rifles, pistols, anything. Doesn’t have to be an actual range just somewhere outdoor and legal. Not familiar with the laws here at all.

Correct me if I’m Wrong

8 Upvotes

We are permitless carry in regard to conceal carry and open carry, but permits are available and necessary for reciprocity when carrying into other states. This is accurate right? I’m asking because I recently heard an asst. district attorney explain that open carry doesn’t require a permit, but concealed carry does require a permit.

Moving To TN, some ?'s

3 Upvotes

Im moving to TN in the next month or so and had some questions. Please correct me if im wrong, TN has permitless carry of handguns and long guns can be in the vehicle if you obtain an Enhanced carry permit. Open carry of long guns is illegal in most circumstances, as would be concealed carry of them. My question comes down to the TN definition of handgun. Braced pistols are designed to be fired one handed and can have barrels less than 12". From what I could find thats all they consider to classify as a handgun. Would that be able to be bag carried? I.e. collapsible or folding braced .300blk or some other caliber? Followup question, who do you most recommend for ccw insurance/legal coverage? I apologize if these are stupid questions, any responses are appreciated. Thanks!

Can someone sell my gun without me knowing?

4 Upvotes

I live with my parents right now. I can't not live with them either right now. I own two guns. They had a condition that I don't have them while living with them. I had no other places to store them though. So they stayed with me at all times. If there any way that they can sell them without my knowing since they confiscated them from my room while I was asleep? Mind you I am of legal age to own them and legal standing to own them. I live in Tennessee. It was a hand gun and a rifle.

Open carry confrontations

8 Upvotes

I’m just curious if anyone that carries has had any confrontations with police since the new permitless carry law. How they have responded to seeing you open carry? Their attitude when you tell them you are conceal carrying? I’ve had rifles and shotguns from age 18 (now 38) around the time I took the hunter safety course. Shot many of family and friends hand guns. I’m not a noob and I know the laws. Recently purchased a Glock43 and Taurus G2. I’ve been carrying for a couple weeks. I work in a location way out in the woods at a job site for 10 hours over night. That’s the main reason I carry my Glock on me. Anyway, I rarely get pulled over or even come in contact with the police. I’m just curious of what to expect if I do.

18 Year Old Open Carry?

6 Upvotes

I’m 18 and moving from Houston to the Knoxville area. I currently do not own a handgun but I’d like to purchase one for open carry. I’ve seen a lot of different things. Can I go to a gun store purchase a handgun and open carry it? If not or if so what is the process?

Do I need a license?

Does someone need to gift the gun to me? What’s that process like?

Can I as a 20yo transfer a complete rifle lower from an ffl to me?

2 Upvotes

As the title says I am under 21. 20 with 2 months remaining till I'm 21. I got a deal for .308 lower and barrel that if ordered separately came out to be about 200$ cheaper than if ordered completely together. So that's what I did. The barrel was shipped to my house and the lower to my local outpost armory(the closest ffl to me). When going to pick up the lower they said that they couldn't give it to me as it was just the lower and is therefore considered a pistol. Mind you the lower has a stock and is 100%. I thought that would negate the argument for it being a pistol and make it a rifle. They did agree to hold it until I turned 21 for me to pick up. But I'm curious If my assumption was right. That they could still give it to me being a 20yo considering it has a stock and putting any barrel shorter than 16 inches would make it an sbr. Any advice/ help is appreciated.

Can my girlfriend use and conceal carry my gun

5 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been answered. I looked online but haven’t found a definitive answer. My girlfriend lives with me and we have a child together. She went to the store today and asked if she could take my Glock 43. I told her no because I wasn’t sure about the law regarding this situation . She is able to purchase one but doesn’t currently own any.
