Hey guys, I've asked around my local gun shops and no one can answer this for me, so I thought maybe you guys could take a crack at it. What is the possibility of the average person getting denied their carry permit after taking the class? Does it happen a lot? I don't have any felonies, just one misdemeanor about 5 years back (non violent charge) and am worried about wasting money on the class if I'm not going to get the permit. Thanks in advance.

EDIT- I hope this is the right place to post this, since it's the side arms forum, if not I apologize.

Re: Carry permit denial.

You might try here:

http://apps.carryconcealed.net/forum2/

They have individual state sub-forums, including one for TN.

One way or the other, you'll need someone with specific knowledge of how the system works in TN. Because each state varies in the legal requirements for issuance of a concealed carry permit, as well as the factors that may prohibit some folks from obtaining a permit, that's the only way to be sure.

Good luck!

You should make the trip down to the local PD and ask them, as local (state) laws can affect the ability of an individual being eligible for the carry license.

If it's just a misdemeanor, I'd think that obtaining the license wouldn't be a problem. But that's here, and you're there.

As someone who went through a ccw process in Ca, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND! Get on it and research, I would bet a cold beer that your state has a site specific forum for ccw. usacarry will probably have some info, just start researching. Call and ask the local pd/sherrif on how to go about it and the probablities. Good luck

Call the TN Dept of Safety. The people that issue the permit can answer your questions even though some of them may be dicks about it. Just because you take the class doesn't automatically get you approved. That is what the background check from the State and FBI is for. Good Luck..

Re: Carry permit denial.

Why dont you check with someone that handles CCW denial appeals in your jurisdiction? I suspect they are the only ones with a true sense of what will get denied and then what will withstand an appeal. And, as each jurisdiction is different, its hard to get a straight answer here. Oh, and I wouldnt assume that all, or even any, really, instructors would know....their job is to teach the class and that may include some basics on what the statutes say but the sad reality of it is that here in NC, each county is different and that means different "standards" with each sheriff. Not the way its "supposed" to be, but that doesnt seem to matter to some.

POC for your RFI = Lisa Knight, sounds like she can give you an answer.

All else fails, Florida and TN have reciprocity and FL's license is super easy to obtain through the mail. I've had a FL CHL for 5 years now and never had a problem anywhere with it.

If you have a DD214, etc it is accepted in lieu of a retard CHL class (save some money right there). Including the cost of passport photos, my FL CHL cost me about $120 bucks.

Re: Carry permit denial.

TN is a "shall issue" state. If you legally qualify to purchase a pistol, you more than likely will qualify to be issued a HCP after completion of your training.

Like everyone else said, contact the TN Dept of Safety if you have specific questions, and the link Doorkicker posted above is their homepage, and a list of the qualifications are found here including possible disqualifications for criminal offenses. One that a lot of applicants don't realize is you cannot have had a DUI/DWI conviction in the last 5 years nor 2 in the last 10 years.

Re: Carry permit denial.

Problem with Alabama is that after you satisfy all the "requirements" that make you eligible to get your CCW permit, there's one last caveat that says "approval of Sheriff"...

Well, this SHOULD mean that the Sheriff approves your request if you meet all the requirements, but in reality it means the Sheriff has sole discretion on rather to issue you a CCW or not, even if you're squeaky clean avg Joe Citizen...

Last county I lived in, while I was there to get mine, I heard the clerk tell a guy that the Sheriff denied him his CCW due to too many speeding tickets. True story, can't make this up.

I had one deny me for 6 months even though I had been previously approved w/o problems, and carried for years. All b/c of a misdemeanor I had when I was 18, even though AL law states that a Felony is the only thing that precludes you.

What I'm getting at with all this is, check to see if your state law has the "sheriff approval" on the list. If it does, good luck.

</div></div>lol I know that here in TN, you have to take the class ($120), pay an application fee to the state ($150- I thnk), and then wait 90 days for your permit that may or may not come, depending on if you get approved or not.

Re: Carry permit denial.

I was worried about this about a year ago. I had just been arrested on two class-A misdemeanors. Neither was a violent crime. So I called my attorney and my CCW guy.

In Texas, this is how it goes:

If you have a misdemeanor above a class-C, they will wait three years from when you received it before they give you the permit.

My charges never went to trial (not sure why, but I paid a pretty penny for them). I sent my papers off and 2 months later the license came in.

Hopefully my personal experience helps a little.
