Tennessee Duty to Inform Police Laws (2026)
Conditional: Tennessee has no proactive duty to inform, but an enhanced-permit holder must keep the permit in immediate possession while carrying and display it on an officer's demand (T.C.A. § 39-17-1351(t); the same rule applies to the concealed-only permit under § 39-17-1366).

Since permitless carry took effect July 1, 2021, unpermitted carriers have no display duty and no statutory duty to inform.
