I just moved to the great state of Tennessee 6 months ago. I know it is a "shall issue " state, but,
how hard is it to get your CCW? Do they bust your balls about misdemeanors, even if they were a long time ago?
I just want to get some idea before I pay the $195 for the application. I am not a felon but, I have a few minor misdemeanors
from years back.

It is very easy and it is carry, open or conceled.

Got caught with an ounce of weed when I was a kid. I know it's not much, but some places will use anything they can to deny you.

Great info, thank you Gamma. Looks like I'm ok. The permit cost is $115, not $195.

TN recognizes all permits, so you could also get a non-res from FL, UT, or ME for example.

Some states deny all drug misdemeanors no matter how long ago, some don't. Call and find out.

Under 18? If so, no worries at all. If over 18 it may depend on how long ago it was. More details on the time frame(s) will ensure a better answer.
