Re: Gun Rights

You may be able to get a permit from the State of Tennessee, however, if you ever possess a firearm you will be in violation of federal law and may end-up with manditory jail time. This is the case even if your possession of the firearm was legal in the state of Tennessee. Do not possess, hold, or own a firearm for the rest of your life. There is noway to get this right restored from the federal goveernment.
