I had a carry permit in TN. I didn’t carry a gun everywhere I went, only to certain places. I doubt I will carry anywhere in TV but going outside, I will definitely carry one. After I took the class and passed both the classroom part and the qualifying, I paid the instructor for additional lessons on shooting in different situations and also situational awareness. The latter will sometimes help you more than having a gun.
Carrying a gun is a pain in the arse. There is no real comfortable position to carry one. Also, carrying a gun large enough to do you any good beyond 10’ makes it much worse. My carry weapon is a Ruger LCP .380. Small, but wildly inaccurate beyond 10’. I have big hands which makes it even harder to use the gun.
