TN - very little stupidity here. You want a gun/guns, you go buy them. The only wait is the background check, and a HCP "can" negate that. We are a "shall issue" state with a "castle doctrine/no retreat clause" law. We have a HCP (carry permit), not a CCW, so you can OC or CC, your choice. Only stupid thing I can think of is you have to have a HCP to carry a loaded long gun in your vehicle. Where I live (extreme NE TN), though, i doubt seriously if any LEO will stop you to check the 12 gauge and 30-06 in the gun rack of your pickup...they already know it's loaded.
