Tennessee has good defensive gun protections on the books and the area I'm in for college I feel pretty confident I'd get a fair trial if it came to that, particularly when about 2/3 of people in the city have a carry permit and I can count on a single hand the places posted. However, less so if after college I move back to Memphis because I can't find a job. Most of the city is posted and is not very gun friendly.

College towns tend to not be friendly

towards people and firearms

Definitely not this one, it's bigger then a college town but still only about 28,000 people but the students still make up 1/3 of the population. However the college is a big engineering school fed mainly by the rural areas that are very conservative. Even with the professors, the city went Trump by 80%>

@Phoenix 3-1 true sadly

Here in The Lone Star State, A&M is a lot more Gun friendly.

is the campus a "gun free" zone

Currently you are able to have a firearm in your dorm room

Can't wait to do that

Outside the college and the regional hospital, most people are blue collar factory workers, some mining, or agriculture. Agriculture is probably the third biggest major at the University followed only by engineering and nursing.

interesting

Unfortunately the campus is gun free, that's because public universities in Tennessee have to be. The police have said though they won't enforce any restrictions on knives on campus.

yeah I'm not gonna bring a knife to a gun fight

it's interesting though, a vast majority of actual mass shootings happen on gun free zones

I WONDER WHY

You can't carry in some places and you are charged a fee but its better than nothing

Maybe so, but I know multiple professors who are allowed to carry on campus. Our campus police are also armed. I'm also sure some students carry and if something went down, people would get guns from cars.

or just carry concealed anyway and fuck unjust laws

"free men don't ask permission" etc etc

Yea if they had one they'd get it

Tennessee, you can keep a gun on campus as long as it stays in your private vehicle.

sadly #1 place guns get stolen from is cars

^

Keeping it in the dorm is pretty dope

that's why I want to go to A&M

Still jealous of states like Texas and Arkansas where if you have a carry permit you can carry on college campuses.

Some places you can't but walking across campus is alright

Carrying with restrictions is better than not carrying at all

I work for a University and luckily I've been remote the past 5 years <:KEK:726877368601411624>

DISARM THIS HO

Honestly, I'm not big on telling an organization I carry, but if it meant I could carry on campuses by giving them my carry permit number I absolutely would.

^

luckily I'm pretty much never on campus. any time I meet with colleagues it's somewhere I can carry

Tennessee is already accepted by basically every state that it does resperosity because of how stringent the background checks and class requirements are to get a permit.

That's a good plan, particularly this school year that is 100% true.

They also have some good administrators. If a liberal teacher somehow finds out you carry and starts bulling you or something the admins won't hesitate to get them in trouble.

@Phoenix 3-1 thats very needed

libs are out of control on campus

Especially professors

^^ they feel invincible with tenure
