Greetings,
I am a new TFA member from Helena, Alabama and hold an unrestricted Alabama Pistol License (CHL). I will be traveling and staying overnight in Tennessee several times per year. Since I will be spending time in Tennessee, I feel it is important to support your efforts by joining TFA and contributing financially. I am also a member of GeorgiaCarry.org for similar reasons (and have family living in Georgia and visit there often). I am a member of the NRA and GOA, and am also a citizen associate member of both Oath Keepers and the Alabama Peace Officers' Association.
This weekend, I will be at the Williamson County Ag Expo Park in Franklin and staying at the Franklin LaQuinta hotel. Does anyone know if either the Williamson County Ag Expo Park or the LaQuinta are banned properties? I didn't see them listed here on the tfaonline forum. I also would like to know if firearms are prohibited in a vehicle (cased and locked) in the parking lot at sporting events or other public gatherings. I have no intention of carrying on the Ag Expo property or in the buildings; I simply would like to have a firearm in the vehicle while traveling in case of emergency.
Are local law officers in Franklin and Williamson County friendly to CHL holders and gun rights supporters? As I am a gun rights supporter, I have multiple pro-gun and pro-military stickers on the car (NRA, Oath Keepers, Dont Tread On Me, etc) and would like to know if this would raise any "red flags" with local LEO's.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
-Bob
