39-17-1307. Unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon.
(a) (1) A person commits an offense who carries with the intent to go armed a firearm, a knife with a blade length exceeding four inches (4"), or a club.
well there goes that.

The 4 inch rule is always the safest option here in TN, however discretion goes a long way. I EDC different things all the time, and generally as long as a person conducts themselves with common sense, looks like a responsible law abiding adult and don't give LEO's any reason to question what your carrying or why, then your fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
