Constitutional Carry in Tennessee

Tennessee's version of Constitutional Carry goes into effect July 1, 2021.

Tennessee CCW is happy to see this change and hopes it can be improved upon in subsequent years to provide even better options for the citizens in the State of Tennessee.

While this is a welcomed change for the people, if you choose to carry a firearm, it is still your responsibility to know the laws for Tennessee and any state you choose to carry in. This carry class enables you to learn the laws of the State of Tennessee as well as many other great things to know if carrying. You can take the class even if you decide to not get a carry permit.
