I've not seen many but i have seen them from time to time out this way.

They are thick as fleas in Western and Middle TN now.

 

[Lost Lake]

The first one I saw in middle Tennessee was on interstate 440 West right off West End. It was dead up against a concrete barrier. I did a double take and figured someone had lost a pet, or played a joke.

The joke was on us a decade later.

I was driving to college in the mid 1990s and saw one on 231 south of Murfreesboro. It was dead on shoulder of rd. Turned around and went back and looked at it. Told everybody about lol. Nobody believed me. Thats before cell phones. I figured it was a pet.

I started seeing them on I-40 west of KY Lake in the early 2000s. They made it to the east side of the lake by 2006, when I first started to pick them up on trail-cameras in the area. By 2007-08 they were to Dickson. A couple years later, was seeing them in my yard in Bellevue (SW Nashville).

Back when I used to hog hunt with dogs in Florida, I watch a pit bull roll an armadillo all over an open pasture. The pit bull was trying to get his mouth around the balled-up armadillo but just couldn't quite open his mouth far enough.

I've killed a ton of them with my .22 target pistol.
Don't know why your 9mm wasn't stopping them.

 

[Union Co. Boy]

Saw one dead on hwy 33 in Maynardville a few years ago. Folks were out taking pictures of it. We have noticed them getting farther East each year we drive to our lease in West Tennessee.

 

[Tom Collins]

They will destroy your yard. Diabolical creatures

Don't know either. Saw a bunch or red bruises where I hit it but he kept on moving...
