Never has a Black Hills round failed, or disappointed me in any way.

Tennessee will soon begin offering a new concealed carry-only handgun permit that doesnt require an applicant to demonstrate the ability to fire a weapon. Under the new handgun law, a permit to carry a concealed handgun could be obtained after online training of at least 90 minutes. The current handgun carry permits, to be known as enhanced handgun carry permits, would still remain an option. Those permits require eight hours of in-person training with live firing required a testing procedure that critics say is time-consuming and burdensome.
