Unless something has changed here in Tennessee since I took the class and got my carry permit (here it is carry permit, not concelaed carry permit). In fact the fellow who did the video that we watched was Ellis Marshall. Ellis is a Tennessee Highway Patrolman and a lawyer. He was teaching at the Highway Patrol Academy at that time and he advised not to inform. He explained that even though we had a right to carry openly, it is better to carry concealed. When you notify someone you are carrying you have lost the edge that concealed carry gives you. Ellis is actually a friend and is of the opinion that legal carry by citizens is a good thing.
