Can non-residents apply for a Tennessee handgun carry permit?

Yes, but only if they work in Tennessee
Yes, but they must own property in Tennessee
No, non-residents cannot obtain a permit
Yes, without any special requirements

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they work in Tennessee

The correct response aligns with the guidelines set forth by Tennessee law regarding handgun carry permits for non-residents. Non-residents are eligible to apply for a handgun carry permit only under specific conditions, one of which includes being employed in Tennessee. This provision allows non-residents who have a job within the state to demonstrate a level of commitment and safety awareness that is necessary for carrying a handgun responsibly. While other options suggest ownership of property or imply a lack of restrictions, Tennessee law does not necessarily grant non-residents access to a handgun carry permit without meeting certain requirements. Understanding these conditions is key to ensuring compliance with state laws and maintaining the safety and security of both residents and visitors in Tennessee.
