We are no longer participating in the TN permit program. We are still doing beginner and church security training by request. Due to the never-ending and mostly unwanted meta 'upgrades', we will no longer be using this page. To contact us, use my personal page.

Awesome enhanced Permit class today with this group of 'sheepdogs'. We won't mention names but a sweet young lady in this group was the star of the day with a perfect score on the test and range! ALL of this group did GREAT and we all had a good time.
Thank you for choosing Vigilant Sentry Training!

This is one of the in-state perks that we talk about when we discuss why a permit is better/safer than the permit-less carry option.

Just a quick post addressing something that I've been asked a few times. "Why get a permit, TN is constitutional carry?"
1- It is not "constitutional", it is permit-less carry and there are numerous restrictions.
2- The class teaches basic marksmanship, safe weapons handling and, probably most important legal issues.
3- Probably the best reason in my opinion is more carry freedom in state and the fact that we have reciprocity with 38 states that honor the TN enhanced carry permit.
As always,
Stay Vigilant, be the Sentry
