[dblj]

Any advice pertaining to local laws there regarding concealed carry? I've been researching online but thought I would get input from the community here.
Thanks

Seriously, though.... here is your weapons offense. I would get an Army or Navy pistol to carry around, if I were you - but only carry it in your hand, not in a holster:

You left out dragging a dead horse through the street on a Sunday. The rest of the week is ok but don't even think about doing it on a Sunday.

It is. I live about 20 minutes from Gatlinburg. They have an indoor range there as well were the local police force do their qualifications. I have collected a lot of their range brass over the years for reloading.
