NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)  A federal appeals court has ruled a park ranger did not violate the rights of a man who wore camouflage and carried an AK-47-style pistol across his chest with a loaded 30-round clip in a Nashville park.

Brentwood resident Leonard Embody sued Ranger Steve Ward for detaining him at the Radnor Lake State Natural area in December 2009 while Ward determined whether the gun was legal and whether Embody had a permit for it.
