If you were not charged with anything, then even if it was an illegal stop and search, it is not your concern. Without a charge there is no standing to do anything, unless You sue the LEO for a §1983 violation for which you have no damages.
The contractor refused to correct poor workmanship after his drainage system failed.

You would be wise to consult a local attorney versed in contract and construction law to review the issue. If the contractor is refusing to fix his work, you may need to consider filing a lawsuit to get appropriate relief.

It is unclear to me whether the law prohibits everyone from carrying a handgun on their person or just people without a valid permit

Handgun Carry Permits allow a sidearm to be on your person except in certain areas. Many situations allow the possession of a handgun without a HCP. However any display of a weapon can be a felony assault without a situation putting you in fear of harm.

Has the Will been Probated? Until a Probate Action is instituted, there is no Will nor Executor. If Probate is going on, then you need to check the file at Chancery Court. Read it verbatim. It generally takes at least 15 months to close a Probate in TN, and often much longer. You may wish... View More

It is doubtful whatever Order giving you custody will impress the Health Department. But it might, so take your Order to the Department and ask politely. Usually only immediate Family can get the Certificate. If necessary, call your local State Representative.

Your question is unclear. Did he still have an active warrant? Regardless of the statute of limitations issue, or other related issues, he would be wise to hire an attorney asap to review the case and see what options your boyfriend has.

If the Will is filed at Probate, then go to the Court and look at the file. If it is not Probated, then the Will has no effect, and your Grandmother died intestate where the Heirs take the land and the Next of Kin take her personal property.

If you filed the Appeal, really a Declaratory Judgment Action, the State must put on grounds to continue the denial or agree to the issuance. Usually a cryptic charge with a date is given the applicant. Apparently something is wrong and you need an attorney.
