The “enhanced” permit was the only permit tn had for decades. It’s not geared toward cops all those cop things are just special treatment for them to skip the 8 hour class that “regular” people have to do. (cops need no permits to carry anywhere in tn ) over 100,000 people have had that permit before it’s name was changed. Before adding the concealed only permit and the “permitless “ carry , the “enhanced “ was just called , handgun carry permit. Once again solus speaks of a state he doesn’t live in like he has any idea what he’s talking about.
Dirk, a TN heresy history lesson, w/o applicable cites per forum guidelines, was excellent...thanks...
however Dirk, the cites i provided in feb 22 were from the TN state training requirements for either the concealed or enhanced carry permits and if you noticed specifically P.O.S.T or T.L.E.T.A training specifically completed by those individuals who perceive they are consecrated, er blessed, as LEs.
however, as you noticed, Nightmare started this thread with a commentary of pending TN legislation, w/o clarification, aiming on expanding the State's statutory definition of Law Enforcement and the enhanced permit.
"HB2554/SB2523: Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, expands the definition of "law enforcement officer" to include a person who has been issued an enhanced handgun carry permit; provided, that the permit is not suspended, revoked, or expired, for purposes of authority to carry a firearm under certain circumstances. - Amends TCA Title 39."

so back to the statement at hand...do you have cite for your statement "
cops need no permits to carry anywhere in tn"
but allow this outsider provide some insight to members which disputes your heresy "anywhere" perception, quote:
Tennessee Code Title 39. Criminal Offenses § 39-17-1350
(a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, any law enforcement officer may carry firearms at all times and in all places within Tennessee, on-duty or off-duty, regardless of the officer's regular duty hours or assignments,

(c) The authority conferred by this section
shall not extend to a law enforcement officer:
(1) Who is not engaged in the actual discharge of official duties as a law enforcement officer and carries a firearm onto school grounds or inside a school building during regular school hours unless the officer immediately informs the principal that the officer will be present on school grounds or inside the school building and in possession of a firearm. If the principal is unavailable, the notice may be given to an appropriate administrative staff person in the principal's office;
(2) Who is consuming beer or an alcoholic beverage or who is under the influence of beer, an alcoholic beverage, or a controlled substance or controlled substance analogue; or

humm Dirk, your definition of 'anywhere' isn't the same as what the TN statutory states places where LE can not carry!
