Q: If an armed guard is using their personal vehicle at work are they allowed to have other firearms inside their vehicle
In the state of Tennessee can an armed guard have a rifle in their personal vehicle at work if they did not qualify with the firearm but the rifle is not on their person. If the guard got shot at would they be within their legal right to use the rifle to defend their own life
A: You can have the rifle in your vehicle unless your employer prohibits it. After using deadly force, DA's may or may not prosecute you. It will not make alot of difference whether your firearm was authorized or not by your employer.
