Got a question regarding Tennessee state law. TN code 39-17-1309 subsections B and C state that carrying weapons on school campus is prohibited unless there's some kind of ROTC or educational program going on. But subsection E states "Subsections (b) and (c) do not apply to the following persons:" then it goes on to list law enforcement, security guards on duty, military on duty, civil officers. Then this section: "(8) (A) Persons possessing a handgun, who are authorized to carry the handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351, while within or on a public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway, or other similar public place". This part has me confused because 39-17-1351 refers to handgun carry permits. This makes it seem as though if you are a CCP holder you can carry on school campus. Am I just reading this wrong or what?
Any lawyers in here?

Also, I'd suggest you not get legal advice from a gun forum. YMMV
