Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Reciprocity Map 2025: Where Can You Travel?
Don't Become a Felon on Your Next Road Trip
One of the most dangerous misconceptions about "Constitutional Carry" is that it applies everywhere. It does not. If you cross into a state that requires a permit and you don't have one, you could be facing felony charges for illegal possession of a firearm.
This is the #1 reason Tennesseans choose to get their Concealed Handgun Carry Permit (CHCP) through our online course.
The "Blue Wall" of Reciprocity Tennessee is surrounded by friendly gun states, but what happens when you visit family in Florida, take a trip to Texas, or drive through Virginia?
With a valid Tennessee CHCP, you enjoy reciprocity with approximately 37 states. This means you can legally carry your concealed firearm in those states just like you do at home, provided you follow their local laws.
States That Generally Honor the TN Online Permit:
Alabama
Georgia
Kentucky
Mississippi
North Carolina

Ohio
And many more...
Enhanced vs. Concealed Reciprocity You may hear that the "Enhanced" permit covers more states. While true for a few specific instances (like North Dakota or Nebraska having different tiers), the vast majority of popular travel destinations for Tennesseans honor the standard online Concealed permit.
