Tennessee is a great place when it comes to buying guns. They don't have to be registered unless you buy from a licensed dealer. We can buy and trade from individuals all day long and it's fine. We can legally buy them at yard sales, out of newspapers, etc. Have you given any thought to moving South? :-) Our carry law is not even a concealed carry. We can carry them unconcealed if we want to.
Moving south...we think about it all the time especially in the depths of winter ;>) It wil happen someday I'm sure.
Half of NYS has already moved South.
