In a traffic stop, how must a person with a carry permit notify a law enforcement officer in Tennessee?

  1. Verbally inform the officer immediately

  2. Show the permit without being asked

  3. Only disclose if asked by the officer

  4. No requirement to disclose

The correct answer is: Verbally inform the officer immediately

In Tennessee, individuals with a carry permit are required to verbally inform a law enforcement officer immediately during a traffic stop. This means that they must alert the officer about their permit before any conversation or request from the officer takes place. This requirement is in place to ensure officer safety and to avoid any misunderstandings or potential confrontations. Option B is incorrect because simply showing the permit without being asked does not meet the requirement of immediately informing the officer. Option C is incorrect because individuals with carry permits are required to disclose the permit whether or not they are asked by the officer. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific requirement to disclose the permit in Tennessee.
