All, my wife and I are thinking of moving from Pa. to Tennessee. Before I do, i'd like a tenn native to chime in and let me know if my guns are safe there??!!
What? All gun retailers charge a fee for the NICS? I'll probably be retiring down there, and I didn't know this ...Safe. It costs more to adopt new safe-babies though. $10 NICS fee.
Where ya moving to?
Cannot say all gun dealers charge for the NICS checks cause I have never shopped at all dealers, but I can certainly say that not all gun dealers charge a fee of any sort (other than sales tax) for a gun purchase.What?

Some resources to assist in your research. You need to be very careful going strictly off of the opinions of folks on a forum, however well intentioned they may be. These sites provide links to the relevant state laws.All, my wife and I are thinking of moving from Pa. to Tennessee.

In simpler terms, "no gun" signs posted by property owners in TN have what is known as the "force of law". In other words, its a crime to carry in a posted location. I agree with the previous poster that this is bad law, but its true in some states. Conversely, next door in AL "no gun" signs posted by property owners do not the "force of law". You can be asked to leave but the act of carrying a gun past the sign is not in itself a crime.How do they catch you? Who catches you?
Is that like catching a shop lifter, the owner tackles you in the store and holds you until the Police show up?
Like down here in Florida, Sign, What sign?? I never saw any sign.
I thought everyone in Tn had a gun?

As my other post got deleted. Would someone explain the differences between 3A, B and C??....
Are you looking at § 39-17-1359? It probably makes better sense if one reads it in its entirety.
It looks like § 39-17-1359 basically means:
- A person, business, or governmental entity may prohibit of restrict possession of a weapon at a meeting he/it holds or at a meeting help by someone else on property owned, operated, controlled, or managed by such person, business of governmental agency.
- Either any possession may be prohibited, or possession may be restricted to the carrying of a concealed weapon by someone having the appropriate permit.
- In order to properly prohibit or restrict the possession of weapons at such meeting signs complying with the requirements set out in the law must be posted in the manner prescribed by the law. The form of sign used when possession is prohibited is different from the form of sign used when possession is restricted.
There are no rights violated. A private business can do what he wants on that regard (with the few exempted classes excepted)Pretty good gun laws in general EXCEPT for this one.
You can be charged if caught in a posted business and the owner decides to pursue the issue.
Yeah, I know, their business, their rules or just don't go in, but there are times that is just not practical. I say, my constitution, my violated rights if I am forced to stay out.
There are states where you are charged with trespass if you refuse to leave a posted business and that is the way it should be here in Tennessee.
Seems there are some states that slightly disagree with that and give the gun carrier a chance for self protection without a criminal charge unless he or she refuses to leave the premises. That is the best of both worlds.There are no rights violated. A private business can do what he wants on that regard (with the few exempted classes excepted)
TN still have that tax on ammo? I remember the little stamps on the boxes.
