TN Enhanced Carry Permit

TN Enhanced Carry Permit Information

There is a great amount of responsibility involved in choosing to carry a firearm to protect yourself and your loved ones. Our Instructors have decades of weapons training experience as well as actual experience employing weapons under stress. You will gain not only the ability to legally use your weapon defensively but more importantly you will gain the knowledge on how to minimize the need to do so. The Outpost Armory TN Enhanced Carry Class covers the related laws, liability, legal use of deadly force, basic gun safety, safe storage and the steps needed to apply for and receive your TN State Enhanced Carry Permit.

Haven’t selected a gun yet? No problem! The Outpost Armory has rental guns and ammunition available and our instructors will be available to provide their expertise in helping you find the best match for you. This 8-hour class fulfills the State requirement to apply for your Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit. Upon successful completion students will have passed a written test and fired a passing qualification score on the range portion of the class.
