You must show your permit if requested by a LEO. But as has been said you don't have to volunteer that you are armed or show your permit.

Hey tilt! Are you the guy that called me a couple of nights ago about the Taurus 9mm I had for sale?? The guy that called me was in NC and stated he worked for the USMC.

Tennessee is similar to Indiana in that the permit is a carry permit, and not a concealed carry permit. We Hoosiers have it better, however, in that we have the option of paying $40 for a four permit or $125 for a lifetime permit; care to guess which one I have? Furthermore, here in the Hoosier State, the only training is that which we provide for ourselves; no government mandated training here!
