Out of state resident, works in Tennessee

I have a co-worker who has a Tennessee HCP as he used to live in Tennessee. However, he recently moved to Mississippi but still works in Tennessee. If you read this from the Tennessee Dept. of Safety, it states that if you work in Tennessee 30 hours a week for 6 months, he must obtain a Tennessee HCP. Well, he already has one. Does anybody know what he needs to do.

A person who is employed in this state for at least thirty (30) hours a week for six (6) consecutive months is required to obtain a Tennessee handgun carry permit within six (6) months from the last day of the sixth month of regular employment in Tennessee. A Tennessee handgun carry permit will be issued in this situation only if the other state has eligibility requirements that are substantially similar to the eligibility requirements of Tennessee. If the eligibility requirements from the other state are substantially similar to the eligibility requirements of Tennessee, Tennessee may issue a Tennessee permit to the person employed in this state under the renewal provisions of Tennessee law.

He likely only has to renew it with a note when he does so that he is eligible as a non-resident under the work provisions of 39-17-1351.
