Governor Lee in his state of the state address mentioned bring legislation forward again to make Tennessee a constitutional carry state. I’m hoping that goes through.
Kentucky has Jim Beam, Booker Noe, and Col Blanton...Yes but Tennessee has Jack Daniels and George Dickel.
ONLY KY has "Bourbon"; TN has whiskey
Just like his father. They are part of a political family that keeps getting big jobs and doing nothing with them. Sadly he is an improvement over the previous one, and they are all of such caliber that it makes me proud to not be there anymore. The whole family seems to just read the democratic ads and put their stamp of approval on whatever is being pushed. Be ahead is a snake in the grass and he will most likely support extreme gun control measures even if he claims that he doesn’t to help him save a few votes.Though our governor socks, hes way outnumbered in both houses giving them power to overturn his veto.
Good things there's not near enough votes in legislature for gun control here.Just like his father. They are part of a political family that keeps getting big jobs and doing nothing with them.

I’m just thinking out loud here. But hear me out. You’re talking about upending your life to move closer to your son who only has a few years of college left. Then he’s going to get a career (no one knows where), possibly get married, and have a family. The absolute last thing I would do is move right now. If you move there and he gets a good job and starts a family in Colorado or even back in Illinois, are you just going to move again so you can be closer to the grandkids? I think it’s awesome you want to be close to your son. I mean that. But I don’t think now is the time. You could actually be hampering his future. He might have an awesome opportunity in another state but he won’t take it because of moving farther away from you, after you moved to be closer to him. My advice is just wait. But my advice is also only worth what you paid for it.

KY is probably has better gun laws than just about any other state, including AZ where signs carry force of law.
Just throwing it out there. My vote would be Ky. Just stay away from cities. I love where I live. And I had the opportunity to move a couple years ago to Benton Ky. I chose to stay. Here, electricity is cheap, lakes are plenty, hunting is great, tons of corps land, land isn’t expensive, constitutional carry state.I hear ya. Not doing it for the kid and yes, if we hover, it would not be good for him.
I've always wanted a place where I could shoot in the backyard with the closest neighbor at least 1/8 to 1/4 mile away. Gotta be outside city limits. Believe it or not, I used to shoot my air rifle in my backyard as I was growing up in Chicago and this was in the 70's. Cops would cruise by the alley and actually wave! Probably get dead quick nowadays.
One law that is overlooked in almost ever one of these discussions is, "do no gun signs carry force of law", which they do in TN and not in KY. In others words, if a no gun sign is posted in TN and your caught carrying your in trouble. In KY your not unless your asked to leave and you don't. KY is also constitutional carry, and open carry permit less. KY is probably has better gun laws than just about any other state, including AZ where signs carry force of law. And, with a conservative supermajority that is very pro gun. Though our governor socks, hes way outnumbered in both houses giving them power to overturn his veto.

They sure do, looked it up to check for sure.TN law still recognizes those "no guns allowed signs?" When I lived there in '98-'05, I remember reading they had to be worded per TN law and the gunbuster signs were not recognized. (I never really paid any attention to any signs when I lived there; carried a gun every where; LEGALLY I will add.)
But thought I read they fixed that law. Guess not.
However, I did love the state. Almost retired there; but mountains pulled me to the west. Nashville was a fun town when I was younger.
Nope...bourbon is about what majority grain, how it’s distilled, and how it’s aged. You can make it anywhere
That's good info.
Yeah, personally leaning toward KY but wife likes TN and wants to be close to Nashville - grrr.
Sure, as long as you have the geology of limestone to filter all the water through like Kentucky, then you can have Bourbon anywhere.
As an Ohioan, having spent a good deal of time in both of those states, I would pick East TN. Knoxville and the mountains are awesome. I love Nashville for the music and everything it offers, but the serenity of Lake Norris and knoxville would be my choice.
Shooting on your land can easily happen in either state in rural areas. Laws in KY, TN and OH are all pretty similar.
In July, 2020, KY was at #38 @ 6.00%. TN was #1 @9.55%
