I don't know why they felt the need for this law, but here it is.For years, the state has only had one type of handgun permit. Starting Jan. 1, it's adding a second.
Beginning Jan. 1, Tennessee gun owners will have a second option when applying for handgun permits.
The state currently has one type of handgun permit that allows users to carry a firearm open and concealed on their person.
It requires a $100 fee and an 8-hour hands-on class, among other background check requirements. That permit doesn't
change under the new law, however, it will be renamed an "enhanced handgun permit."
But starting in 2020, a new, second option will be available. It's called a "concealed only handgun permit" and as the name implies,
it only allows permit holders to carry a weapon if it is concealed.
