Tennessee Concealed Carry Reciprocity Agreements

(NOTE: Individuals with a valid Tennessee Handgun Carry authorization should apply to any state prior to entering the state for information on carrying such a handgun.) Illinois was the last of the “No Issue” states, but was forced into a “Shall Issue” jurisdiction in July 2013, after the U.S. Seventh Court of Appeals` ban on covert wearing was declared unconstitutional in 2012. (C) (i) Where a person residing in another state and holding a handgun license in another state is lawfully employed in that state and wishes to carry a handgun in that state, the person has six (6) months from the last day of the sixth month of regular employment in that state to obtain a Tennessee handgun license. The authorization may be issued on the basis of the person who has an authorization issued by another State, provided that the other State has authorization requirements substantially similar to those of that State. . . .
