Back in June of this year, my wife called the police because I was having an emotional breakdown. I was not suicidal, nor was I ever, but I was going through a situational depression primarily triggered by our marital struggles at the time.

Because of a misunderstood text I had sent to my wife the previous night, the police ended up taking me to the hospital, and then eventually I was transferred to a mental health facility. I was released after 3 days, which apparently was much shorter than a usual stay.

I'm assuming this is what is considered a 5150. I also am understanding that I am barred from owning a firearm. I have never been violent or suicidal, and I have never been arrested. My situation has improved and I am no longer depressed.

I know there are options for an appeal or relief of some kind, but I'm not sure where to start.

Any advice?

I’m up for renewal of my permit and got curious about where you’re NOT able to concealed carry, even with a permit. The law is obviously confusing in general. I know hospitals, banks, post offices, and schools are prohibited. Are you legally allowed to safely ignore “gun free” zone signs at say the mall or movie theater?

I am 19 and want to take a rifle to a friend’s property for target practice. I would like to know if it is legal for me to transport a rifle in my car and if there would be any legal implications if I were pulled over.

What places in the Nashville area carry the largest selection of pre owned handguns?

Hey guys, I’m back again with some more questions.

I moved here recently and just established residency. I am 18 years old and looking to start concealed carrying. I live in the major Knoxville area. I would need to obtain a pistol, I’m looking at an S&W M&P 2.0. How do I obtain a pistol legally? How do I carry it legally? I know I can’t buy it. Do I need a permit or am I covered under constitutional carry? Thanks in advance!

Next month, I will be taking my family to Gatlinburg for a week. My question is can I take my pistol with me legally and if so, is there a way I should travel with it? I do not have my concealed carry permit.

Hey everyone! New to the group. I’ve been in Middle TN for about 4 years. I’m in the Murfreesboro area and I’m just looking for some range buddies to go shooting with. I haven’t made a lot of firearm friends out here yet. I’m 27, a new dad and love plinking!

So, I bought one from a pawn shop on Saturday. Come to find out. It don't work. All of the 2nd opinions says it's possibly the clip.

The issue, the bullets don't chamber right nor does the shell casing get ejected.

I'm currently looking to buy a newer clip for it and I hope it fixes the issue. But, my issue is, if a new clip doesn't fix the issue, that's $211 down the drain. All gun sales are final and the pawn shop i purchased it from won't even entertain the idea of an exchange.

So, what should I do with the $211 paper weight? If a new clip doesn't solve the issue.
Sell it? Break it down and scatter the pieces? Make my boyfriend pay me the amount of the gun? It's was like $169.

Hey all! I just found this group. I’ve lived in middle TN for about 4 years. I’ve had some nice times at a lot of different ranges but I’m looking to get into long range shooting. Are there any recommendations for where to go for 100+ yard ranges?

My 19 brother went into Rural King to look at buying an ar 15. They told him he couldn't because he had to be 21 to buy one with a pistol grip. I was unaware of there any age laws on ar15s regarding pistol grips specifically. Can anyone confirm this?

If I were to replace my 16-inch barrel with a 10.5-inch barrel, would there be any concerns I should be aware of, such as the gas system or trajectory? While I appreciate the advantages of my longer barrel, I carry my rifle frequently and believe a shorter barrel would enhance its comfortability during transportation, eliminating the need to swing the gun. #newgunowner

Any idea what brand they carry? I assume they carry Glock 9mms but wondered about ammo brand

Anyone know if there's a ammo store "near" Nashville that sells HST 124 grain in 50 round boxes. I find the 20 round boxes for $33 at academy but wondering if there's a spot to buy "in bulk". Or best ammo deals in general as all I know is to go to Academy

Is there any local hunting pages? Looking for more public land ideas for small game near knoxville

We are permitless carry in regard to conceal carry and open carry, but permits are available and necessary for reciprocity when carrying into other states. This is accurate right? I’m asking because I recently heard an asst. district attorney explain that open carry doesn’t require a permit, but concealed carry does require a permit.

Im moving to TN in the next month or so and had some questions. Please correct me if im wrong, TN has permitless carry of handguns and long guns can be in the vehicle if you obtain an Enhanced carry permit. Open carry of long guns is illegal in most circumstances, as would be concealed carry of them. My question comes down to the TN definition of handgun. Braced pistols are designed to be fired one handed and can have barrels less than 12". From what I could find thats all they consider to classify as a handgun. Would that be able to be bag carried? I.e. collapsible or folding braced .300blk or some other caliber? Followup question, who do you most recommend for ccw insurance/legal coverage? I apologize if these are stupid questions, any responses are appreciated. Thanks!

I live with my parents right now. I can't not live with them either right now. I own two guns. They had a condition that I don't have them while living with them. I had no other places to store them though. So they stayed with me at all times. If there any way that they can sell them without my knowing since they confiscated them from my room while I was asleep? Mind you I am of legal age to own them and legal standing to own them. I live in Tennessee. It was a hand gun and a rifle.

I am roadtripping the US with friends and coming through TN. Have shot at a bunch of indoor ranges but I am also looking for a outdoor range that rents out guns and sells ammo. Any suggestions?

Looking for another bolt action, $350 budget. Any recommendations?

I’m just curious if anyone that carries has had any confrontations with police since the new permitless carry law. How they have responded to seeing you open carry? Their attitude when you tell them you are conceal carrying? I’ve had rifles and shotguns from age 18 (now 38) around the time I took the hunter safety course. Shot many of family and friends hand guns. I’m not a noob and I know the laws. Recently purchased a Glock43 and Taurus G2. I’ve been carrying for a couple weeks. I work in a location way out in the woods at a job site for 10 hours over night. That’s the main reason I carry my Glock on me. Anyway, I rarely get pulled over or even come in contact with the police. I’m just curious of what to expect if I do.

I’m 18 and moving from Houston to the Knoxville area. I currently do not own a handgun but I’d like to purchase one for open carry. I’ve seen a lot of different things. Can I go to a gun store purchase a handgun and open carry it? If not or if so what is the process?

Do I need a license?

Does someone need to gift the gun to me? What’s that process like?
