I work in a gun store and carry on private land separate from where I reside. I am wanting to know if I can keep a handgun in my vehicle for protection at work and at any time I must go to our farm on the private land during these times under the Castle Law or any other law.
As a general rule no. If you are military, you might get a HCP. Or you might carry it in the locked trunk unloaded to a firearm instruction class (but I do not advise this). Unfortunately you are two years too young to carry a handgun, so do not do it. A criminal charge will mess you up so... Read more »
I'm? In Tn.
I am unaware of which specific Constitutional right you are referring to. Assuming you mean to invoke the 4th Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. I am unaware of any precedent that states citizens are not required to produce identification when requested to do so. 4th... Read more »
What about the 2005 display act .
If you are renting, the the terms of your lease would determine what you can and can't put in a window. The Display Act of which you cite is applicable to homeowners - not renters.
One place to start your research is 42 USC 1983 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents
They want to verify that my misdemeanor charge isn't domestic assault or battery but it clearly States on the disposition that it isn't are they allowed because I feel like my rights for fire arms are being suppressed or neglected It's been more than the 60 days they say it takes I... Read more »
If necessary you will need to file an Action in General Sessions against the State. It is basically a Declaratory Judgment Action pursuant to Statute, and I believe you will need a competent attorney. This will need to be filed very soon.
There was a police call made by someone where we were and It was a false report because of underlying family issues so when the police came they grabbed my boy friend and beat on him they also took my weapon because I say it on the ground just for my safety when they arrived my weapon is in my name...

First make a written demand to the Chief of Police or the Sheriff to return your weapon. Then you need to file suit for Conversion against the City/County and the Officer that took the firearm with a SOL of 3 years. All this costs money and time, and many firearms are not worth the trouble. There... Read more »
Who would I contact near Crossville, Tennessee?
You did not say what Charge. But alleged victims are often charged with filing a false police report or 911 call. With no subpoena, I doubt that it was contempt of Court.
Who does the possessions go to. He had no will. He had a daughter and my mother gave her his vehicles . what else is his daughter entitled to.
If no surviving spouse, then the daughter issue takes everything that was your brother's. The real property may descend one -half to her if the mother and brother were tenants in common. But it would be very different if it was a LE/REM deed or to the survivor. You will need a lawyer to... Read more »
I have tried to rent a home from 3 different rental MGMT companies and was refused because I draw unemployment right now. All of them said I had to have a job or be employeed and could be verified.

I'm sorry for your frustrating ordeal. Your post remains open for three weeks, and at this point, you could try reaching out to Tennessee landlord-tenant attorneys.

The police took my cell phone without my or my fiances consent. Were my rights violated and how do i get my property back?
Edit: no charges have not been filed.
It does sound like the police should not have taken your phone. Were charges filed? If so, that phone may be in evidence. If not, I would contact the police department and ask to get it back.

Both of you need competent attorneys now. You need to put on a good Preliminary Hearing, possibly with your Sister as a Witness. Remember the Victim will have Video Tapes.
Especially if the violation results in extended social isolation. This would discriminate against a person with a disability (in this case mental illness), provoking to harm by suicide, self-mutilation, drug overdose, or violence. What is the law here?
The law regarding citizens' arrest is located in Tenn. Code Ann. 40-7-109. Arrest by private person Grounds.
(a) A private person may arrest another:
(1) For a public offense committed in the arresting person's presence;
(2) When the person arrested has... Read more »
Firearm Confiscation by who? When Firearms are seized for whatever reason (if any), then you usually have to go to Court to either sue or move for the return of your property. This happens frequently, and you take a copy of the Order to the Evidence Room to obtain your weapons. On occasion one... Read more »
It is like Violation of Probation. It means that you have violated the terms of your agreement. Depending on your agreement, the jurisdiction, the DA and the Judge, many things could happen.

You should hire an attorney immediately for your case.
Is it legal for him to do that if he didn't actually see who did the crime but he told police I did it an showed them pics of someone driving a vehicle and said it was me they have a warrant for me now an I'm innocent if they watch his cameras they would see me leaving before these other...

It is not illegal if your neighbor thought you committed a crime involving his property. If there is a warrant then you are going to need to call the Sheriff's department and see if they want you to turn yourself in. Because of COVID-19 , people with warrants are being booked then released... Read more »
You need to pose this to a Tennessee attorney, but your post remains open for four weeks. Contact a Tennessee environmental attorney (there's a section here on that). You're talking about an environmental law matter more so than a constitutional law matter. Good luck

I filled for a concealed carry permit through the state of TN. After my background check was conducted they found that I was convicted of criminal damages to property- misdemeanor when I was 17, this was 14 years ago. The state has now asked for certified court documents on the case. However the... Read more »
You will have to provide the State the requested documents. The Department of Safety issues the HCP, and if they do not want to, they don't. If denied, you can file a declaratory action in General Sessions Court very soon after the denial. Denial of a HCP does not mean you necessarily... Read more »
And then this person said that this was actually a 16 year old and he is going to press charges. If this ended up with him asking for money. I realize that this would most likely be a scam but if it was real, can I actually be arrested amd prosecuted for this? This is deeply troubling.
Do not ever contact them again. It may be time for a new computer and phone.
Lied a lot to us . soddy daisy police department specially on Facebook
Son needs a competent TN attorney now. Maybe he will never be indicted, but if he does, he will be ready.
