Indeed. If one looks closely at the way TCA 39-17-13 is written, there are a number of potential "gotchas" riddling the laws therein. It would appear that the Handgun Carry Permit law was added to the code, but changes in other laws of the part to incorporate and recognize that law were not made. The attitude of the legislature appears to have been, "We'll let some poor sucker get nailed, and then we'll find out what needs to be cleaned up. Now, where's my next perk coming from?"
