Q: Carrying concealed firearm in TennesseeTennessee is a permit-less carry state but I’m still hesitant of carrying in car
What should I do and say if I get pulled over? What If I’m the passenger?
A: You do not need to announce that you are armed unless asked. You do not need to show the weapon to the officer. Doing either of the foregoing could be considered a threat to LEO. I have even refused to show the LEO my weapon when requested with no problem since it is not the LEO's business unless he is arresting me.
