How long is a Tennessee handgun carry permit valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 4 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 8 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 8 years

The Tennessee handgun carry permit is valid for 8 years before it needs to be renewed. This is because 4 years may be too short for someone to constantly renew their permit, 5 years could be an estimate but not the accurate length of time for renewal, and 10 years may be too long for someone to go without renewing their permit and keeping their information up to date. Therefore, 8 years is the most practical and efficient amount of time for the permit to remain valid before requiring renewal.
