ED LOWREY ANSWER:

"Don't ask questions you don't want answers to......As a Deputy, if I stop you for say a tail light out and you let me know you are packing a gun and have a permit, I will check it.  As a Tennessee resident you are permitted to have a non resident Florida permit.  If I found you to have a Tennessee Drivers license and a Florida non resident handgun permit, I would thank you for your time and send you on your way.  There is no TCA which requires you to give up a non resident permit from another state if you have a Tennessee permit.  You only have to give it up if you have the resident permit, as most do. You may however, have to change your address on file with Florida.  I possess a non resident Nevada and Hew Hampshire permit as well as a Tennessee resident handgun permit. When you ask a question of the Tennessee Department of Safety you should expect a politically correct, cover your butt, but sadly not very informed answer.  You don't call the IRS to ask if that deduction you want to take is correct, you go to H&R Block.  They answered the question based on the correct response for Drivers License and Resident gun permits.  Once you change your residency to Tennessee you are required to get a TN drivers License and if you want to carry a gun in TN, a TN carry permit because you are no longer a resident of the previous state which issued you a gun permit.  The permit is no longer valid....unless it is one of the Non Resident permits which are not based on your state of residence.  Simply get your TN Drivers license and keep your Florida non residence permit (please make sure you actually have a NON RESIDENT Permit and not a Resident Permit but you are calling it a non resident because you moved.)  This is absolutely no different from any long time Tennessee resident who goes to the trouble of getting a Florida Non Resident CCW and carries in TN.  Until the State Attorney General makes a decision that Tennessee will not accept Florida Non Resident permits, then you are OK.  I would however, consider taking the TN course to upgrade your knowledge of our unique laws and apply for your TN permit.....just don't say anything about your Florida Non Resident license.  You would then have more state to travel in.  Those reciprocal with Florida and with TN.  Don't ask questions you don't want answers to, especially of state bureaucrats.  Of course that is just my opinion."
