concealed only with a permit from tn or nc or states with reciprocal agreements with tn or nc...otherwise still no.

A good thing, this is - because these days you never know where the next psycho will strike.

I carry at home and if I am on the road but I have never dreamed of carrying in the mountains. Of coarse I have thought about carrying in Gatlinburg. Ha Ha. The mountains just seem like the one place on earth that trouble would not find you. But as they say the innocent just usually make victims.

I used to work for the DA's office in Elizabethton, TN and while I was there, we worked the prosecution of several good ol' boys who had seen some female AT hikers cross the road near Roan Mtn. and had followed them up the trail and raped them. I've always been an opponent of guns in the NPS, but now that I take my daughters into the backwoods, my perspective has changed somewhat. If I'm up there by myself, I wouldn't even think of it. When I have the two things I care most about in the world with me, that's a different story....

This is a all true but sad story on how our world is going. Where can we go to stop the madness. I do believe that some of the surrounding towns of that area are beginning to encourage the wrong elements to the family getaway of the smokies. To much on politics, back to fishing.
