Tennessee is not the same as Virginia when it comes to open carry, as they require a CHP to open carry. However, TN does honor your VA permit.

I don't know if you "shall" show ID in TN when asked, though it would be a smart idea to show your ID. It's not like you've got anything to hide if you're a law abiding citizen. Not showing ID will just make any situation more stressful for both sides when it's really not needed.

You are required to inform a LE in TN that you are carrying. However, that seems to be unnecessary if you choose to open carry.
