"Interesingly, this article notes that the number of permits in AZ increased." Increase is probably due to people wanting permits so they can carry concealed in other states with reciprocity.

I thought Tennessee went Constitutional Carry as well just within the last few months?

Unless your friend was inside his residence or place of business open carry was then, and is now, illegal in Florida, Broward included. Open carry was recently rejected again by the legislature.

but also a Florida permit which gets you into a lot of other states. Just not Minnesota.But a number of states have come up with their own exceptions to that rule. Alabama does not allow a non resident of Florida with a nonresident FL permit to carry in their state. If you live in FL with their CCW permit, you're fine. But if you live in MN and have a FL permit, forget carrying in Alabama. Same for others. Better check.

I’ve carried whatever I want, where ever and whenever I wanted, for the past 40 years, across multiple state boundaries while traveling between duty stations. The Constitution I swore an oath to uphold and defend was my guide. I don’t have to check jack shit.

That’s a great graphic, thanks for posting it.

Oops. Sorry. My wife and I are probably retiring to Johnson City area within the next two years or maybe sooner. Want to go up there this summer and start a real estate hunt.

Are you in Tennessee now?
Johnson City? Marvelous coincidence :-) I was just there yesterday, I live about 45 minutes away. I’m outside Elizabethton. I assume you’re looking at Johnson City because of the VA? There’s lots of other cities in the Tri-Cities area, the three big ones and then numerous little ones. It’s all beautiful, you can’t go wrong. (Although if you want lower property taxes you do want to stay out of the city limits. But that’s possible to do and still be quite close.)
We escaped mixer for you to years ago. We decided to go galt and decided East Tennessee was the best place. It is beautiful, the weather is moderate, and the people are wonderful. As long as you are conservative :-)

Speaking of open carry, my first experience with that was my first week here. Actually my first couple days. I went to the super Walmart in Elizabethton to buy some boneless skinless chicken breast. Hovering over the area was a man with a Glock on his hip.
I let him pick out what he wanted first :-)

Are you in Tennessee now?Suffering in the sweltering heat of Miami, FL. I was born and raised here and have spent most of my 60 years here except time in university and time on active duty. And you're welcome for that. I just ran around in the woods of WA state and played soldier. When we had no blank ammo due to supply screw-ups, we yelled BANG! I'm no warrior. Never heard a shot fired in anger. Just wore the uniform and watched as my buddies rode off to various scraps like Grenada and Beirut and Somalia. Some of them didn't come back. THEY'RE the ones I'm remembering this weekend. And YUP, chose Johnson City because of the VA. As far as me being conservative, take a look at my FR Home page and decide. I think we'll fit right in.
