They suspended my permit because I sued a State employee and wanted to discredit me. It was also suspended because I carried a blackpowder navy pistol in my hand in an old slave town. If you have any knowledge of Tennessee law and laws quoted by the AG in his brief you’ll see the irony. I have a FFL, am registered with the state board of pharmacy, I am almost finished with my schooling to become a registered nurse, and have been married 14 years with children. I must be a “nut job”.
Handgun "carry" is commonly understood to mean "in an openly visible holster". What you admit doing is a lot closer to "brandishing", which is a justified offense just about anywhere your life is not in immediate danger or otherwise not legally actively seeking to shoot something.
Yeah, if you're wandering around with pistol in hand (or, as referenced elsewhere, AK-47 pistol altered to look like a toy) and generally understood by all (yourself included) to be doing so for the purpose of attracting attention, then you're not going to get a lot of support around here.
