Quoted:
Your GA permit is good in TN.  While here, you have to follow our laws regarding carry.  Some high points of our law:

• A location with a gun-busters sign is considered legally posted, but a sign simply saying "No Guns" is not.  Absent the GunBusters sign, the law requires specific verbiage to be legal. Gotcha


• You may not consume any alcohol while carrying––period! Don't Drink


• You may carry in restaurants that serve alcohol, as long as they are not posted, and, as noted, you are not consuming. Don't Drink


• You may carry concealed or openly, but I strongly recommend concealed. If I carry I carry concealed but also I leave my gun in the truck or car sometimes on buildings that are "Fuzzy"


• You are not required to notify a LEO if you are carrying (should you be stopped), but it's considered both courteous, and generally a good practice to do so. I always do let them know.

LEOs generally are OK...but Brentwood has been known to have some CWAs (Cops With Attitude). I'll bring donuts.

O'Charley's & Cracker Barrel are family-friendly restaurants that are also carry friendly (they're both based in middle-TN, too).

Garcia's (on Highway 96, next door to Hobby Lobby) is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.  There are a ton of restaurants around Cool Springs Galleria (the mall).

Franklin Gun Shop has a great selection...and high prices.  Generally nice folks, in my experience...Did I mention high prices?  

City parks in Franklin & Brentwood are off-limits for carry, even with a permit.
 

• in Franklin (Pinkerton Park has a nice kids' playground, & Union Civil War Fort Granger is at the back of it)


• in Brentwood (Concord, Granny White, Deerwood Arboretum, etc)––just naming a few, in case you stumble across them.

 
Radnor Lake State Natural Area (a couple miles north of Brentwood––actually in Davidson Co) is a state park, & carry is legal there (with a permit).

Shoot me a PM––or ask here––if you would like more info.  Any places that rent Full Auto Stuff. Bullseye's stuff in Lawrenceville GA is "Been there done that and jam-o-matic."

Welcome to Williamson County––and to Tennessee!  Thanks I was born in East Ridge TN

Hope you have a safe, enjoyable trip.
