A new state and new firearms and self-defense laws.
Although Tennessee is supposed to be pretty gun and self-defense friendly, my “expertise” is Florida and over a Decade of reading and studying cases, trials and advocating for Pro Gun and Pro self Defense bills. Not saying I can argue with Jon Gutmacher, but I call it successful because I am not wearing orange on a weapon’s violations.
I know squat about Tennessee, not even the things that are similar to Florida. I feel like all of the sudden I am naked as a jaybird and the wrong move can end me in jail. Not a prospect I wish to partake.
I already started the path of enlightenment: I downloaded Andrew Branca’s Tennessee Seminar to start getting acquainted with the law.
And keeping with my own advice, I will go straight to the text of law in Tennessee and make it as familiar as I do Florida Statutes 790.
To know the law is my duty. So it is yours.
Agree. Learn the law.
Consider taking concealed training class as well. If TN is anything like the states I have lived in, they will include a briefing on the laws and regulations as part of the classroom training. Add to that Andrew Branca’s info (that guy is very well informed), and your individual research. Know what constitutes justified use of force. Never assume you are in the right.
Post some of what you find. Interested to know.
“Consider taking concealed training class as well.”
That will most definitely happen
