It depends. In Tennesee, there is a charge for illegal possession of a firearm, which is simply carrying an unauthorized firearm, and can be a misdemeanor. There is also "intent to go armed" which can be a felony. If the gun is not loaded, the charge will probably be the former, if the officer doesn't think you were up to anything bad.
