    It’s pretty easy to buy a gun in this state. If he does get flagged by the system the black market is flooded with them. There’s an epidemic in Nashville (and probably many other places) of guns being stolen from vehicles. Almost no arrests are ever made, and yet people still leave firearms in their cars.

      Does TN have licensing or permitting? I’m guessing no. Maybe they should, if there are that many irresponsible people leaving firearms unsecured.

        They passed a law a couple years ago for open carry. Anyone able to purchase a gun can have a loaded handgun with them concealed or not. It’s basically the wild west out here.
