THE ENHANCED PERMIT is the new name for the old TN Carry Permit. This permit includes RECIPROCITY* with 36 (plus or minus) states and the ability to both conceal and OPEN carry. However, because of a new law signed 4/8/2021, as of 7/1/2021 you might not need this Enhanced Permit.

You only need the Enhanced Permit if you work at a property owned, operated, or controlled by the public institution of higher education(some colleges, universities, private schools) at which you are employed, and you want to be able to POSSIBLY carry a concealed firearm, or you are a first responder, or you frequently visit North Dakota or Nebraska (ie trucker).

*What is Reciprocity?
*RECIPROCITY - this is where States other than TN recognize your carry permit and allow you to carry in their State. Information about current reciprocity agreements can be found on the State of TN website. There are at least 13 states where TN permit holders can carry, by default, because those states are constitutional carry states. TN also has many formal agreements with other states, as well as informal agreements adding up to over 30 States TN carry permit holders can carry in, many in the South East. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO. Reciprocity can change at any time.
