traveling with firearms

A quick tip re: concealed weapons permits. One of the items that is required on a Tennessee Handgun Permit is your DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER. According to my firearms instructor, many states also require that number for issuance of their permits. Get stopped by a LEO for a drivers license check and the LEO will know immediately that you are a concealed weapon permit holder. It will show up when your records check is pulled. In Tennessee, it is not required to state to a LEO that you have weapons on your person or in your vehicle, but in many states it is a requirement. Don't think you can pull a fast one on the cops. You might wind up in the back of a police cruiser, your vehicle in an impound lot where it will be thoroughly searched, and your traveling companions highly inconvenienced.
