Those who carry openly should be aware that police could be called when they are seen with a gun. Be prepared to offer your permit to any responding officer. Be polite, and have a copy of the AG opinion (linked above) with you. The Knoxville Police Department and Knox County Sheriff's Office are aware of the open carry provision of Tennessee law. Keep in mind, also, that not all businesses are 'gun-friendly'. Under new legislation passed this year, which is different from before, any POSTED signage, including the circle & slash is acceptable. Avoid those places if you are carrying a defensive firearm.
