1. Good for him, but I'm a bit unclear on something

Is a concealed gun permit needed for a business owner to keep a loaded firearm in a drawer by his cash register?

Reason I ask, my granddad owned a feed store, it was actually a country store that carried a little bit of everything. It was a cash business and it was in a fairly remote location. One of the coolest things about visiting his store was the Colt Single Action Army Revolver he kept under the counter. It was exactly like the guns I used to see in the cowboy movies and sometimes he would let me fire at cans on a fencepost. Now this was 60 years ago and it was in rural Tennessee, but your post made me wonder if he would have to have a permit to keep the gun on site if he was still around.

I would not own any kind of retail business without keeping a firearm handy.
